Comment on On the angst of American journalists (2019)parent

That's the kind of opinion you get in a break room at work when someone asks why you're not chugging your usual fifth cup by noon. For people to look up an online community specifically about something, they'd have to be a bit more interested in it than the average person.

That's something I miss about the forums of old: the off topic sections were generally just regular users commenting on whatever thread was at the top. It was a bit like a break room and could even form into communities.

Not really - in the break room there will also be 5 other people saying 'Don't be daft - cafeine doesn't cause skull fractures - talk to a doctor'.
