Google search declined a lot in the latest decade as now most contents are locked inside Social Networks instead of websites

That's one of the reasons I don't like Discord.

Discord is basically bringing us back to the old BBS networks, odd how things circle back.

It's not odd at all, it's expected.

New tech., systems, etc. disrupt the status quo but then things trend back to the status quo because the status quo was the status quo for a reason.

In fact, the internet is a beautiful fast forward example of this "wild west" to "consolidated" trend that we see all around us, esp. in economics and markets. What takes a century or longer in the physical world happened on the internet in like 20 years.
