You signed up just as things started to take off properly. You were spoiled until this year of course. I signed up October 2013 so had a month or two of 'fuck me, does it always do this?' followed by years of reaming.

Current sentiment is fine. There's barely a fraction of the real doom that 2014/15 fostered. At that point it was still possible to believe it was going to dwindle to nothing. Technical disaster aside, that looks far more remote these days.
