/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I participate in a few lively subcultures, otaku-oriented and not. Some still have that early 2000s feel, most are very small, and all are filled with new content and creativity. They're out there, but you won't find them on the usual channels of the internet, because if you could they'd be destroyed.
It's not that the entire internet has become commoditized and commercialized, it's that YOU are only engaging with the part that has. If you want to be at the bottom of a rabbit hole, don't just sit there wondering why one won't appear in your living room. Go wander around till you find one, and jump in.
Someday some of these subcultures might become popular, and enjoy a brief heyday of exposing a large number of people to their good phase before they become shit. Then everyone will reminisce about them. That's just how it goes.
