In the last 15+ years we have heard this same story, "X platform wouldn't exist without Y user". This has never turned out to be true for any large scale social media platform. For the platforms that have failed, it was always a better platform that took their place, not one single user causing a mass migration.
Look at the_donald, which had a mass migration off of Reddit, and everyone said Reddit was going to shutdown without their ad revenue. Still waiting...
- ProAm 6y agoI agree but I really think Trump saved Twitter. The company was for sale and couldn't find a buyer remotely interested. They couldnt find anyone willing to take the CEO seat so they asked Jack Dorsey to come back. They were in the dumps as a company until Trump started to tweet like a madman. I really do believe that Trump saved Twitter. I dont remember people thinking Reddit would fail if they lost the_donald subreddit?
