    They can select classic, but it's the new folk coming in that like card view that might be their undoing.

It feels like now that the internet is so large, The Eternal September is a concept that can be applied to individual websites. Instead of a television series jumping the shark, a website experiences it's own ES event.

Yeah, I remember when it happened here on Hubski back in 2014.

Hubski probably has a worse user retention then Reddit. At first glance it looked totally dead when I ended up here.

We shed users, but keep the interesting people.

How do you know that the people you shed aren't interesting?

We don't. But the ones that stay are.

Na I'm just horsing around. Every once in a while we have an Intermittent April rather than an Eternal September.

But ES was a term created for what happened to usenet.
