| 1898 | Article | vkimo | In case anyone is wondering why this was published on Retro-Daze and not RJ, the owner of RetroJunk wouldn't approve it. | Feb 08, 2015 |  | |
| 1899 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's sad to see what has happened through the years. It's not something that is unusual though. The internet is full of once promising nostalgia sites that have all but died now. Trust me, I've searched about as thoroughly as any human can for others like us. If any nostalgia sites are thriving now, it's because they are "retrogaming" sites, of which there are like 50,000,000 out there. Few sites replicate what RetroJunk originated. Sydlexia and Plaid Stallions are about as close to RJ as I've found, and even they are different in that the owners are the exclusive article writers. Nostalgia sites are hanging on by a thread. Facebook and social media have become the replacement for sharing memories, albeit in micro form. I think Vertex reached a point where he had a choice... either invest in improving the site for the users, or improving the site for the money it could make. A simple layout with flashy Google Ads would be the perfect place to land potential clickers. The huge mass of content would draw them in, and the ads and layout would handle the rest. My interest in impressing Google is no less than Vertex's, but for different reasons. For me it's simple... the more, the merrier. I just wish Vertex had made the other choice. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 08, 2015 | |
| 1900 | Article | vkimo | You're definitely right about social sites putting a blow in things. RJ was your primary source for old commercials, but then Youtube came along and you can watch anything. I think dedicated niche sites always have that problem with bigger sites having similar content mixed with everything else. It's still no excuse for the downgrading quality of the site though. | Remembering RetroJunk | Feb 08, 2015 | |
