    Apple is perma-closing the Support Community site — discussions.apple.com/

    This is gonna break every search engine result and every saved link on a web page or bookmark.

    They likely fed all the existing content into a RAG or specially trained LLM.

    I scraped the ~60 pages from the main entry point (it goes back ~5 days). The site was not exactly unused.

    Way to go, Apple.

    Scatter plot titled "Apple Support Forum Topic Views (Past 5 Days)". The x-axis is a logarithmic scale representing the number of views per post, with markers at 100, 10,000, and 1,000,000. The y-axis lists various Apple Support Forum categories, with the total number of posts in each category shown in parentheses next to the label. Each individual dot on the plot represents a single forum post. The data shows that categories with more posts generally have a wider distribution of views, including high-view outliers. For example, "iPhone" (483 posts) and "iMac" (27 posts) are at the top and have dots stretching far to the right, with some posts reaching nearly 100,000 views. In contrast, categories near the bottom with very few posts, such as "Compressor" (1 post), have their data points concentrated at the lower end of the scale, below 100 views.
