The four wheeling and automotive communities in general have been in disarray lately based on the instant gratification of Facebook groups, and chats such as slack and discord.

Partially because these systems are far simpler for adding audiovisuals however the utility of an organized system with archived knowledge is lost. When Photobucket took down user uploaded content troves of niche information were lost. I do hope that as the cost of saving data reduces over time that data rot is generally reduced. Troves of nontrivial knowledge being destroyed is abhorrent.

Primarily I believe that the difficulty is in the fact that social media is designed to be addictive. Not to be an archive of knowledge.
