Yes please. I despise the trend to put everything in video format that seems to constitute “discussion” these days, along with a crappy comments section full of trolls, trash talkers, and “experts”.
Someone’s text description with a half dozen crappy photos is often 10x better than some 2-3 people having a BS session over a 15 minute video (like and subscribe!) to do 5 minutes of actual work on the subject you’re interested in.
Forum mods generally kept discussion on track, reeled in people who were deviating too far or kicked out trolls and assholes, and forums dedicated to a subject were a wealth of knowledge and attracted experts and experience.
Sure, there’s a few of those places left, and probably even a few /r/ that might have actual decent content and mods, but those tend to be the exception and not the rule.
