It won't die. It will just hollow out. Same as Digg. Same as Facebook, Twitter, and every other shitty part of the internet. The power users are what make the internet the magical place it is. Without those people, the sites will still work... but they won't be as great as they were before their respective turning points. It's a cycle it seems.
I also had sites I wanted to share: –Swiftread or spreeder, shows one word at a time to read pasted text –12ft ladder, paste sites into this and it’ll block ads –Invidious, ad free, viewcount free youtube experience & it doesnt play automatically when you click a video –localingual, interactive map of the world, you...
Not sure how the Pit Boss is, but with my Traeger Ironwood, there's an angled metal plate above the burner to deflect direct heat. I usually lay on top of that either the official foil accessory, or if I'm out, I use the thicker gauge bbq foil.

I mean... well... who doesn't love free stuff, but really if the legit product is priced fairly and buying it provides some actual useful service and isn't inconvenient or comes packaged with scummy garbage hindering it, then people will pay for it.
The problem is - that's not what publicly-traded companies like to do. Valve's Gabe Newell said it best (paraphrasing) - "Piracy is a problem with a service... not the customer."
Shitty services or actions businesses take to place a barrier of any kind between customer and the product they seek as a means to lazily extract more money from customers - especially that which is perceived as greedy will make more people seek alternative means of obtaining said product.
Ask people who host Plex servers why they put movies on their server when they already have a Blu-Ray of it.

Same. Love this guy. His video about how those roll-around "portable" HVAC units being hot garbage made me both upset I had ever used one, and also excited about the future of heat pumps... then he started doing more videos on heat pumps!

"Who cares. My ego isn't so delicate as to have my sensibilities offended by whatever the fuck you want to call it. If you think something like 'MyHouse.wad' is something that is for "bOoMeRs" (a.k.a. anyone old enough to know that it's called a "VCR," not a "VHS player") then you're the one missing out... not me."

Just got my first pellet smoker. Quick question
I’ve been using a vertical smoker for years. I always like to put a layer of foil down at the lowest layer to catch some drippings from my butts....
