wow! That's very interesting. I need to get on Reddit though I don't know where I will find the time! I was half joking in what I said about teenagers and early 20s of today. But its good to know that even the next generation has genuine interest in Michael's work. Fills me with hope, but also wish even more that he was alive to see this. If you have ideas on how to increase visibility of this forum, let me know, I will pass them on to Gaz and see what we can do.I understand why you say that about people in their early 20s and teens being here. I think you're right in that the concept of forums, rather than a social network, is kind of lost on them. However, I don't think it's because of a lack of interest in longer form things. Like, I don't think they necessarily require stuff via TikTok lengths, but that's what they are given. The fans on Reddit, who are almost all quite young, are insanely knowledgable about Michael and have consumed SO much content and done SO much research. I truly just don't think people know this forum exists if they became a fan past a certain point in time.
I guess what I'm saying is that I've had an odd journey in life and I can't really explain myself well enough here for it to all make sense without being so far off the topic, or probably making people uncomfortable, so I just want to end by saying that it's been freeing and comforting to have this space.
PS: Sorry I don't have lot of time for penance at the moment, but I just downloaded HIStory Copenhagen, so will be making new gifs to share sometime soon!
