It's just the times, innit? I presume many people aren't working as they normally are and have their heads buried in the shit storm that is 2020. Design as a profession takes a back seat a bit.
There are still people posting design stuff occasionally and, more interestingly, stuff they're farting around with at home.
Personally, I really appreciate the sciencey Coronavirus posts from some of the less froth-mouthed, slightly more high-foreheaded QBNers (you know who you are), but I get where you're coming from - there is a LOT of it, and unfortunately, some of it is absolute bilge.
The social media crap regurgitation's annoyed me for a few years now, so I agree with you there - especially all these shitty, shitty histrionic ALL CAPS YouTube videos, often with some bullshit political or slightly sinophobic angle.
- Frankly, 2020 is feeling to me like a great big long bank holiday Tuesday, but I'm not really minding it.Continuity

I'm trapped like y'all and just contemplating the state of the world, countries, communities, tribes, etc. etc. etc.
I always felt QBN / NewsToday was outside of it and was a sort of oasis from the ordinary, BUT in these trying times, its become complacent.
Honesty is always the best policy.
Love y'all.

"An bunch of über elitist designers who run an online design community and think that their shit doesn't stink. Can also be referred to as the QBN Reich."
"Man, thos designer over at XYZ designers are bunch of fuckin QBN's."

What happened to "an online design community"?
- "Quarantine of the Day", "Coronavirus", "China, "Donald Trump", "America is Fucked", "capitalism", etc.
These are not QBN.ideaist - We grew up?
Real life intervened?
This isn't Neverland, you know.Continuity - I think I thought of QBN as neverland; impenetrable group of bros untouched/unscathed.ideaist

Now it's societal regurgitation.
Shame.
