I Feel Sad Right Now

I feel more and more alienated from the people on this site. Have the people who used to post authentic, meaningful, thoughtful stories just given up and started posting twitter-esque one liners, or has everyone with something worthwhile to say just given up on the site and moved on? And if they have moved on, then where did they move on to? Because as shallow as this site has become, I still haven't found anything else that's any deeper. Is this just who we are as a species now?

I have moods where I feel like writing those kind of stories. But yeah those kind of posts are very few on this site.... mainly because it leans more towards Q&A.

I want to gouge the eyes out of whoever had the bright idea to mix the stories in with the questions by default. Great, more quantity of content - and to hell with the drop in quality.

@BlueDiver: yeah it's been one of my complaints from the very beginning. But I've sort of just rolled with it.

At the beginning, there were many posts of those quality here, it's just that they get pushed down the activity feed quite quickly... and I guess people have sort of given up.

I wish that I was the kind of person who could roll with it - but I figured out a long time ago that depth and authenticity is the only kind of communication that resonates with me. It's who I am, for better or for worse. And as much as those things are supposed to be good, valued things, my experience has been that the world generally looks down on them and does its best to beat them out of us.
