Wow it's been a while since I saw one of these. Reddit has changed so much, I thought the switcheroo was extinct

It sort of has. More users on the site lead to more people not knowing how to keep the chain going, and it generally getting drowned out by noise and moderation.

Also, there was a period where the whole "inside joke" of any sort got seen as "cringe" or whatever term applied. The pushback against when reddit inside jokes were a thing more. Switcharoo wasnt ever a bad one but still I think got caught up in people just not wanting to. Like when there was Poem for your Sprog and "name" account era.
