Comment on Why did Usenet fail? in ~tech

Webforums were more focused, and they were the new thing. They did the same essential thing that Usenet did, and sites like reddit are the same. People move on to new things.
Spam killed what the declining userbase left behind. On some of the ones that I used to post in, at least 50% of the posts were spam when I stopped using them.
As to the looks, people will post where the people are, even if the interface is garbage. If there are people posting interesting things, they will stick around. And ease of use is kind of a red herring. News readers were widely available that took care of all the back end stuff. Web browsers used to include a news reader.

Honestly, I fell asleep about an hour and an half in, and I don't fell like I missed anything.
He should break this up into 6-7 videos that covers parts of the discussion.

You should pick designs that appeal to you, or have meaning to you, but they can just look pretty too.
For location, think about the clothes you normally wear. If you want people to see it, then anywhere is cool, but for something that you don't want people to comment on all the time, wear it under your clothes.
It's an iterative process. Many of those fantastic images have been tweaked and edited to get like that. It's never just enter a prompt and get a great result. Try prompts, run batches where lucky results (and some weird results), then inpaint hands and faces, pull it into photoshop to clone out bits and bobs, etc.
