that seems like a pretty significant rate-of-uptake to me - why would you say it's not killing imgur?
- minimaxir 10y agoHere's the plot of the Imgur and Reddit pics market share on /r/pics and /r/gifs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cgoFF6njlyv1W0DQ3IF5i5Hx4JBphYURNYY5S7thxk8/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cgoFF6njlyv1W0DQ3IF5... There is growth in Reddit Pics and decline in Imgur, but it'll be a few months before the lines intersect. A cry from the Imgur killer everyone expected.
- a_small_island 10y agoUnless at some point in the near future you turn off the imgur spout.
- gohrt 10y agoI would love to "fail" by steadily increasing growth, becoming #1 in a ~year.
- minimaxir 10y agoIt's not apples-to-apples to traditional startup analogies when there is a giant UPLOAD IMAGE button on the Reddit submission page.
- u238ed 10y agoNot sure how this proves your point. Reddit is about to overtake Imgur...
- zem 10y agojust how fast do you expect these things to happen? overtaking the overwhelmingly dominant reddit image sharing host in a matter of a few months sounds pretty damn dramatic to me.
- wrath 10y agoI think it's that's a very good rate of growth for a new service. The scaling challenges alone are not obvious and slowly taking up market share is the safer thing to do. If I was an investor seeing these growth rates, I'd be really happy as long as it keeps up and only plateaus when the goal is reached.
