Amen brother. Although Google Groups isn't Usenet, just a gateway to it...
and Usenet would survive quite happily - and with a lot less spam -
without Google Groups!

Ultra-Axiomatics:

Google Groups is, arguably, the savior of Usenet. Usenet via newsreaders became unmanageable beginning early 2000s. An impossibly large number of messages gobbled up a user’s hard drive (very small at the time). So, wise users (!) transferred the burden to Google. The behemoth has had storage space on a gigantic scale.

Think how much trouble you avoid. There are, just an example, lots of messages describing every minute of a match! Or, every-day predictions of just about every league in the world! Thanks to Google Groups, you and I avert the flood to our devices. You and I simply choose what messages to open and read and perhaps reply to. The 99.99% remaining is junk that doesn’t affect us at all!

May Usenet live forever!

There are new kids in town already. They will take over like Jeezes after Yahwes are gone...

Hopefully, although the age profile of the people I communicate with on
Usenet does seem on the upper side of being new kids!
