      The purpose of social media is to discuss things, not disseminate information. That is Wikipedia, or news sites. Tbf Reddit got its start as a news aggregator service. But to halt already started conversations… that really sucks.:-(

      Yeah especially for a story like this it deserves new threads every couple hours as new information comes out and a new thread is needed to discuss it. Putting it on a mega thread means any discussion about new information just gets buried.
