I used to post on various forums related to my hobbies but as I’ve aged, I’ve found myself more content being a lurker than engaging with other users.
This is particularly exacerbated by the megaforums like Reddit and this site, because whatever I may have wanted to say will usually already have been said by someone else, often more eloquently and well thought out.
This then further disengages me from most forums and after a while, I simply forget about them. Now, I only interact here, niche subreddits and a forum for locals.

Even if it hasn't been said... There are already 1,397 comments so who the hell would see it anyway?
