Why hair loss forums are dying nowadays?

[jamesbooker1975]

Regrowth.com , hairsite.com , both are death . There are still there , but just pure propaganda and no posting.
gourmetstylewellness.com have the main homepage down , and I doubt that there are any moderation on this forum.
Why is that ? people only using reddit ? All this hair loss forums where extremly active till a couple of years ago . May be I am to old to understand it .
Any idea ?

Yes first of all i have never heard of any of those sites you mentioned and i have been in this game for over 10 years. Baldtruth and GourmetStyleWellness are the top ones.

The ones that I mention, were the first one and where all the information was . Even more, many things that are talking like it was the "new thing" like oral minoxidil, there was already 100s of post in the lates 90s about it on hairsite.com and on regrowth . In fact, regrowth was the first hair loss forum .
But even counting that now there are not longer used as forums, baldtruth and GourmetStyleWellness are pretty dead too . Plus baldtruthtaIk is just about hair transplant, 99 % of the posts .

reddit absorbed the beginner questions
discord absorbed the crazy experimenters and incels

Nowadays, people don't talk on forums as much as before.

 

[jamesbooker1975]

Why would you even discuss hairloss at 40+ years of age,daily,for years. I just dont get it.

What you don't get it ? Why do you disccus after 40 plus years ? or what you think people discuss after that age ? lol

 

[vondoom]

yeah might be because you dont want to loose your hair no matter what age you are...
as long as you are fit enough to reach yo own mouth to drop some dutasteride, that discussion is not going to end, mate...

 

[whatintheworld]

Probably because the solutions now are good enough to make hairloss more of a choice.

FUE transplants with the best surgeons can effectively give you back your hair assuming you aren't a Norwood 7 with DUPA.

So the only gatekeeper to your success is:

1. Having enough money and being a good transplant candidate, and being patient to go to one of the best surgeons.

Hair transplant ? there still limit donor supply . You are still playing for 10000 hairs where you should have, at least, 50000 .

You are paying for a very effective illusion of density that effectively gets you out of the bald guy category, and makes your hair (or lacktherof) no longer a negative factor in your life.

That is good enough for pretty much everyone.

that is also what most dont get... as long as you dont look too bald, most people will never notice, because most wont even look at you...

Lol. First at all, it is a surgery, not a treatment. Maning ? there are many, many factors that can go wrong, and you end it up much worst than bald, cause now you have scars and shave ( after any hair transplant ) is not longer an option.
For every Great hair transplant ( that it look great in photos ) there are at least another 10 that went wrong . Also, What it may be will look great in a photo, or in a dark room, will not be look as good in a sunny day, wet, etc.
Again, if you think that in real life 10000 hairs will look the same way than more than 50 K hairs , you are simple buying an illusion that only you will believe it.

 

[whatevr]

Because options haven't drastically changed in the past 20 years and every available "solution" has been talked to death about already.

Lol suit yourself man, but look at the best clinics results and they speak for themselves.

If you did a blind test of 50 cases from the top 10 clinics in the world, I bet you wouldn't even be able to spot if its a transplant or not.

Again, even the best clinic have their own nightmare cases . don't spit up

Like everything . Even so, people still have the same conversations over an over again.

Reddit is killing forums, not just the ones about hair loss, but all forums. Whatever you're interested in, there's probably a subreddit for it.
