This website has lost all value

Regardless of what the affirmative intended for this debate, it is my job as the negative to negate the resolution "This website has lost all value". Thus, to win the debate, I must only prove that the website has even a tiny bit of value, at least more than absolutely zero.To prove my point, I will be focusing on the second, third, and fourth parts of the definition of value that I offered.Monetary Worth:According to The Worth of Web[1] Debate.org has an estimated worth of $324,128 Debate.org makes about $619 per day Debate.org gets about 41,318 non-unique visitors per day All three of these facts demonstrate a positive net worth. Clearly this website has not lost all monetary value. Personally, I would jump at the chance to purchase this website for a couple thousand dollars, which is a pretty good demonstration of both monetary value, and personal value as well.Relative worth, utility, or importance:First, let's talk about why debating is important and worthwhile.The general idea of debating is probably one of the most important aspects of the human race. Being able to talk about issues and solve problems is extremely important for the advancement of society. Problems aren't solved by picking a random solution out of a hat, they're solved by proposing several different solutions, and discussing the pros and cons of each one to narrow down the most effective solution possible to a particular problem.Debate is also vastly important because it it can educate people on particular subjects. I have personally never experienced a debate where I did not learn at least one new thing afterwards. For example, my last debate on same sex marriage has taught me that there are indeed non-religious arguments against same sex marriage, where I previously could not think of a single secular reason to oppose it.I'm sure that the affirmative can agree that Debate is extremely important to our society, and the general advancement of the human race. This demonstrates clear value in the activity of debating, which is why Debate.org, which is a website where people from all across the world can come together and debate subjects that they're interested in, must pertain a lot of value. Debate.org is extremely important to a lot of people, and extremely valuable because it allows for an effective way to discuss issues with people that you would probably never meet in real life. It provides a structured and moderated environment which allows for fair debates that can then be voted on by the users to determine a winner. These are the kind of things that you would never find on your typical internet forum.I personally find a lot of value in this website due to the fact that I have graduated high school and can no longer participate in its debate program, and the college I am attending does not offer a debate program. Debate was my favorite activity in high school, and now I have found a way to do this without needed to be a part of a program. None of this would even be possible without Debate.org.A numerical quantity that is assigned or is determined by calculation or measurement:See Premise 1.Addressing the affirmative arguments:My opponent argues that he sees roughly the same or similar subjects being debated all the time, and that this is an indicator that the quality of Debate.org has reduced down to nothing. While I have already demonstrated that the value of this website is at least above zero, I still find a flaw in the affirmative's reasoning...Just because a certain few subjects are debated more often than others, it does not imply that the subjects are stale and that this website no longer pertains any value. The subjects that are debated here depend on one and only one thing: the users. Having a single topic being more important to the community than other topics does not mean the quality is lower, all it means is that these particular topics are more important to the users, and there is nothing wrong with that. My opponent suggests that newer debates are unimportant in comparison to older debates on the same topic, which is blatantly false, because every debate provides new people who are in the discussion, which means new ideas are being thrown around, which means that new conclusions can be achieved. No serious and legitimate debate is a waste of time. Learning something new about a particular subject that you are interested in is always a good thing, and throwing in your two cents is even more important. Debate.org isn't just about viewing debates that you're interested in, it's mostly about participating in debates. Of course there's going to be repeats, and of course there's going to be topics that are generally more important to the community than others. But none of these facts represent a diminish of overall value, and certainly not to the point where the website becomes completely and utterly valueless. As long as people are learning something new in every debate, there is at least some value to be had.Conclusion:I have successfully demonstrated that the website, Debate.org, has at least some value, in almost every aspect of the definition that I have provided. I have adequately refuted the arguments my opponent has made, and have proven that repetition of topics or debates of topics the affirmative does not approve of does not imply a diminishing of value, and there is at least some value to be had as long as the debaters are learning something new.Citations: http://www.worthofweb.com...
