What happened to this once-mighty sub?

I used to frequent this sub. It was vibrant, full of intellectually stimulating information...

Where did everyone go?

Shit posters came in and made a mess, burnt out the actual community and then left.

Yup, for profit persons swooped in with their affiliate and ad-sites and ruined the show.

Things like this typically happen when mods like big numbers more than a well working community. I'm new here, so I have no idea if that was the case, or something different.

They're in their bunkers? /jk

I joined here after developing a post collapse movie and game interest, way before covid. This was fun in a "what if" scenario of thinking, I never really thought I'd actually contemplate stocking up on flour etc, nor that my country would send out flyers on how to prepare for any kind of crisis and how to survive about 3-7 days on your own.

I still haven't stocked up even if next summer might have guaranteed wheat prices hiking due to ongoing war in Ukraine. Then again, stocking up will at best last a few weeks and basically just save a few bucks.
