Haha, omg, I remember when LJ was still a new thing and I remember reading some people's journals and being like "why would you want to keep something like this?" Then I got one and it ended up being, like, the greatest thing, hahaha.
but I get how it works for... oh, god, feeling old here but for the younger generation - everything is much more fast paced than it was 5, 10, 20 years ago.
This is exactly it. As we get older and as more and more newer, younger fans come in, things are of course going to change based on the new demographics. Or rather, they're not even new demographics, they're just new people to fill the same demographics that we filled back then, they just have very different expectations about how things work. Because the technology has changed.
And it's like, even if the platforms were the same, would I still be able to spend the kind of time that I spent in fandom? Would I want to? I don't know.
