You’re thinking too short-term. A central business district doesn’t have to be like we see it in the US. It can be vibrant and filled with cafés and restaurants and parks as well that give it life in the evenings and weekends.

I might be alone, but I don’t want or need a huge amount of users. I’d rather discuss the subjects I want to talk about with a smaller group of users. It would be nice to have some familiarity in the comments as well. On the big subreddits, your comment was practically guaranteed to be lost in the sea of thousands of comments unless you were the first to comment, or had bots upvoting you. If I want my comments to be lost, I’ll comment on a Tiktok video.

I wonder how many of those comments were actually bots or nowadays generated by AI!
