Mickpl wrote that in less than three years, Wykop shrank from a portal with over 100,000 active users to a service that perhaps 800 people used, and its traffic resembled that of a local county portal. The author admitted that he regretted this change. He noted that the prevailing opinion of Wykop was as a place that was extremely unfriendly, but he did not fully agree with it. He described the site as a unique place where alongside an anecdote from an employee of a Norwegian laboratory about polymer synthesis, a post from Mariusz from Brighton could appear, who published a picture of his room after waking up from drinking. According to Mickpl, a similar community will not arise again in the Polish internet. He wrote that users grew up with the portal, took different paths, and later met there again, like a class reunion after years. He added that the rapid downfall of Wykop will be discussed in textbooks as an example of how not to manage a social media platform. #Wykop #społeczność #Internet (translated)
