Why is Newcastle so traffic congested these days?

Hello, I’ve lived in Newcastle my whole life, and lately I keep wondering: why has the traffic become so bad in almost every area? It feels like it’s getting worse every single year and not decreasing.

I remember before 2020 — and especially 10 years ago — when there was barely any traffic at all. Now it’s exploded to the point where nearly every road feels congested, even outside peak hour. It honestly doesn’t make much sense considering Newcastle only has a population of around 300,000.

What confuses me even more is that we already have a pretty good public transport system, with a train line running every 20 minutes, Uber, Light rail, Lyft, Taxis and plenty of buses as well. You’d think that would help reduce congestion, but instead traffic seems to be everywhere, all the time. It just doesn’t make sense…

What ever happened to Disney Junior and the OG shows and old days… why has it all just moved on…

Hello, I’m 19 years old, and I grew up watching Disney Junior when I was around 4. I’ve been wondering what happened to the OG Disney Junior era from the 2000s–2010s.

Nowadays, shows like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Henry Hugglemonster, Jungle Junction, Handy Manny, Pj Masks, Tree Fu Tom, Jake and the Never Land Pirates, Doc McStuffins, Sofia the First, Bubble Guppies, Paw patrol, Sheriff Callie’s Wild West, Miles from Tomorrowland, The Lion Guard, Little Einstein and Special Agent Oso have all stopped making new episodes and seem to have moved on with their endings and away from Disney Junior in general. It feels strange because I grew up watching many of them, and now everything has just… moved on.

I also want to ask: why doesn’t watching Disney Junior feel the same anymore? If I open an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or Doc McStuffins now, or any show I grew up with from the 2000s–2010s, it just doesn’t feel the same anymore—whether that’s old Disney Junior content like classic preschool shows, OG series etc.

Why have so many OG shows ended and, in general, moved on from Disney Junior? I don’t really understand why that era is over, especially since it lasted for so many years. It feels like many people, including the original fans, just aren’t as interested in those shows anymore either, and I don’t understand why. It just doesn’t make sense why something I used to enjoy and watch for years doesn’t feel the same anymore and has to move on.

It just doesn’t make sense that everything feels so moved on and not the same…

What ever happened to Morgz? The 2017-2020 prank videos era?

Hello, I’m 19 years old, and I grew up watching Morgz when I was around 9. I’ve been wondering what happened to the OG Morgz era from 2017–2021.

Nowadays, Morgz and many of the OG prank YouTubers have stopped making videos and seem to have moved on with their lives and away from YouTube in general. It feels strange because I grew up watching many of them, and now everything has just… moved on.

I also want to ask: why doesn’t watching YouTube feel the same anymore? If I open a Morgz video now, or any video I grew up with from the 2010s, it just doesn’t feel the same anymore—whether that’s old Minecraft YouTube content like Minecraft videos, og commentators etc..

Why have so many OG creators moved on from making prank videos and, in general, moved on from YouTube? I don’t really understand why that era is over, especially since it lasted for so many years. It feels like many people, including the original fans, just aren’t interested in those videos anymore either, and I don’t understand why. It just doesn’t make sense why something I used to enjoy and watch for years doesn’t feel the same anymore and has to move on.

What happened to many of the OG minecraft youtubers?

Hey everyone, I’m now 19 years old and I have a genuine question. I grew up watching Minecraft YouTube during the 2010s from 2010 to 2020 when I was a little kid (around 8) and am wondering what ever happened to the channels that did minecraft lets play content. The ones below are…

DanTDM, popularmmos, CaptainSparklez, , amy lee, squaisheyquack, iBallisticSquid, yogscast, Sundae, Stampy, SkyDoesMinecraft, AntVenom, StacyPlays, LDShadowLady, JeromeASF, bajan canadian, vikk123, Stacy plays, MMAPgaming, Logdotzip, bigbstatz, or even the side ones like Preston, unspeakable, and so many others shaped my childhood.

But so many of them have moved on from YouTube and don’t even upload anymore with many of them having “moved on” from minecraft and YouTube in general.

Even watching Minecraft videos doesn’t feel the same anymore as a 19-year-old, and I don’t know why. When I was younger, YouTube felt so different—more enjoyable, somehow better. Now it just doesn’t feel the same anymore, and I don’t know why.

When Stampy ended his Lovely World in 2023, it feels like that whole era of Minecraft YouTube such as the classic solo survival and Let’s Play style has gone completely quiet.

I’m curious: what actually happened to the creators and why have many moved on from making minecraft videos, most of them have either slowed down content or moved on in general from making minecraft videos? why have many left?

What happened to OG GoAninate era 2010s and its creators?

Hello, I’m 19 years old, and I grew up watching GoAnimate when I was around 7. I’ve been wondering what happened to the OG GoAnimate era and its creators, such as Thinkerhats, SplashyTrash280, BrentAnimate, Isaac Anderson Animations, YRGvHD, CherryBlossom490, RareYellowWUUTBee, Fartnoise9, Kaneedian, Tboneodeth Productions, GoTest334, MegaT, Nova, Rack Animate, Stickman Jackers, officerpoop, Brendan Barney, The Colossal D, 1redbed, African Vulture, officerpoop247, and weatherstar4000video.

Most of these creators have just stopped making videos and seem to have moved on with their lives and away from YouTube in general. It feels strange because I grew up watching many of them, and now everything has just… moved on.

Why have so many creators moved on from making grounded videos, behavior card day videos, rant videos, and Caillou videos? It all just seems to have ended now.

I don’t really understand why the era is over, especially since it lasted for so many years. It feels like many people, including the original fans, just aren’t interested in GoAnimate-style videos anymore and have all moved on in life.

It just doesn’t make sense that everything just feels so moved on and not the same.

How safe for crime is outer western Melbourne? New housing estates?

Hello, how are the new estates in south west Melbourne for moving? For anyone that lives in these following suburbs can you tell me is Wyndham Vale, Werribee, Manor Lakes, Mambourin, Tarneit, and Truganina safe? Looking to move to one of them.

I’ve been following news reports about crime in those areas, as well as crime in Melbourne overall. I often see stories in the media about machete attacks, stabbings, shootings, and home invasions in those suburbs. The news coverage tends to present those areas as very dangerous. I usually watch the news for about three hours a day.

Why did the Ash and Pikachu era of Pokémon have to end? Truly miss it!

Hello everyone, I’m a 19-year-old who grew up watching Pokémon as a kid, and I’ve been wondering why the old era with Ash Ketchum and Pikachu had to end. I really miss watching their adventures and I’m curious about why Pokémon chose to conclude that story arc.

I’ve noticed the same thing happening with many TV shows, YouTubers, and books I grew up with—they’ve ended their stories, and audiences have naturally moved on to other things in life. I’m trying to understand why everything has to change and move forward, including the Pokémon era I grew up with.

Why couldn’t that era have continued forever, with the same characters and stories? I’ve been watching since I was about four years old, and it feels strange to see that chapter come to a close.

What happened to OG YouTube (2010 to 2020)?

Hello everyone, I grew up watching YouTube and many of its OG creators, such as DanTDM, Game Theory, PewDiePie, Markiplier, CaptainSparklez, PopularMMOs, Jacksepticeye, and a bunch of Minecraft YouTubers like Stampy and SkyDoesMinecraft. I’ve watched YouTube change a lot over the years, and many of these creators have either moved on or stopped uploading as much—if at all.

I’m now 20, and it feels strange because I used to watch all of these YouTubers when I was younger. Now it feels like they’ve all moved on. Why is this the case?

Hey everyone, I’m now 19 and I have a genuine question. I grew up watching Minecraft YouTube during the 2010s from 2010 to 2020 when I was a little kid and am wondering what ever happened to the channels that did minecraft lets play content. stampy was a big one for me but there was also the others such as

I’m curious: what actually happened to that 2010s Minecraft/Let’s Play era? Why did it fade away so much, and why do we rarely see content like that anymore? why after stampys world ending its like everything went quiet truly? I genuinely miss the old days of minecraft YouTube and miss the days of coming home from school to watch the videos.

I’m needing advice on what to do, as I’m in a rough situation at university. I’ve started an engineering degree (I’m in first year), and to be honest, I haven’t had any interest in studying outside of class. I’m lacking motivation, procrastinating heavily, and not doing any study at home. I always struggled with maths and physics in senior high school level as well and was not that great (got below average grades) due to content difficulty and further procrastination in study outside of class.

However, I feel like I have to do engineering because it’s what I’ve always planned to do. It’s a secure career, it pays well, and I want to make my parents happy and proud. I don’t want to feel like I’ve failed them by not becoming either a doctor or an engineer. At the same time, I’m struggling with the content and finding it hard to motivate myself to study beyond what’s required in class, especially because the material feels so difficult and cant be bothered to revise for hours upon hours more as it’s so hard and time consuming (especially with certain questions that can take hours to do and u still have a whole sheet of questions left).

I’m not sure what to do, as I can’t really imagine myself pursuing a career outside of being a lawyer, engineer, or doctor and disappointing my family. Is it possible for me to go through any of these courses with minimal study outside of class?
