What if these are primary places where user generated content lives now?

Plenty of high quality user generated content live on Discord, Slack, and other semi-private information exchanges that aren't as easy to parse and scrape. Places like Reddit and Stack Exchange and DeviantArt are just the prior-gen iteration of hosting for those conversations. But they're being overwhelmed with bots, marketing teams, special interest mods, and ideologues to the point that they can only deliver a very niche set of content catering to whomever "owns" the space.
