A generation raised on retweets and other one-click shares now walks among us professionals and peers. Stuff is going to change as they becomes a larger and larger share of the community. It’s the same reason we see more video posts with the requisite complaints from my fellow greybeards about how they swear reading is a lot faster and easier.

But the curiosity is still there and good, depthful discussion still happens in the comments, so I think the community is staying healthy through these changes.
