I think we all learned to do that eventually. It's like losing an encyclopedia

Already today I've made probably 15 Google searches with the "reddit" suffix only to be met with privated subreddits. It's a grim feeling, considering my undying support for sticking it to Reddit rn. It kind of feels like passing by the place old restaurant that was always nasty and unhygenic yet had delicious nostalgic food, and remembering that the place eventually closed down and you won't get that experience anymore.

I think even people who weren't on reddit knew that that was a useful trick.
