honestly it's pretty bad but you should keep making it anyways, lots of really good artists had shitty first projects before they learned their style n shit

Yes, captain, but it has always been that way. Well maybe not always, but for a very long time now. The content of posts has generally been mostly stupid shit/degeneracy/attention seeking, with like 10% actual interesting content. If it's information you're looking for, there have been better sources for a long time. You probably have a nostalgic memory of the old days where everything was much better, but maybe it was just much better because you were younger and this place had a lot of things you'd never seen before. But then they get old and tired.
Anyone here who is worth a shit knows they use this website as a crutch (there are a couple who don't probably, but the vast majority). The ones who don't realize it are the retards posting absolutely meaningless shit constantly (mostly DH), but those people will never have the capacity for reflection anyways. They'll never consider it or think about it, they're just internet junkies living from one comment dopamine hit to the next.
Anyways, my thoughts are kind of scattered, but I guess what I'm trying to say is yea, we know. But I think you already knew as well. You don't need to call anyone out because we already know. I agree with you and hope you can move on to greener pastures. But just as a comment, I think you are inherently altruistic, good natured and intelligent, and you see some of these qualities in users here, so you assume that we would behave in a certain way, like to think logically and maximize our ability (financially, emotionally, whatever...) in life. Then when you see us not doing that, you think we must lack self awareness or self control. I don't think either don't realize or don't understand that not everyone is motivated by the same things as you are. A lot of us are "fucked up" permanently because we were raised by fucked up people, or for whatever reason learned destructive coping mechanisms from birth and then bounced from unhealthy habit to unhealthy habit for too long before we finally gained enough awareness to realize that we were already too far behind the curve and have been effectively kicked out of normal society.
I started this out meaning to type generally but it's obviously getting pretty personal, so I'll just say that, we know. But good luck man and I hope this turns out to be a positive change for you. Keep in touch from time to time if you want.

You grow up in your own head with your own thoughts and that combined with life experiences makes you into a unique person. There are things that everyone has done that were terrible, or that they are ashamed of, that they don't tell anyone, or tell very few people. When you get to know somebody really well, like after living with them, you eventually will become more like each other and some of those things will be shared because of the trust developed. But you can never know what they may not be sharing. There is always a part of everyone inside that is terrible and evil and selfish that they will never reveal 100% to anyone, so the idea of the person you are in a relationship with in your head is not totally accurate. Its a false representation of someone, to some degree, and maybe if you found out who that person really was, your image of them would be different. But at the same time, you are also hiding aspects of yourself. People want to believe that there is someone that legitimately cares about their wellbeing, to feel worthy and cared for because there's always that small voice in the back of everyone's head that tells you that you're a worthless, vile piece of shit, and if you can find someone to tell you that it's ok, it soothes the anxiety and worry.
