TikTok would beg to differ.
You are correct about having a base, but once you grow out of that base, you can compete as a general purpose social network (ultimately an advertising/lead channel - even if only for the market of ideas).
It's all about execution and as you said, purpose. So what's FB's purpose anymore?

- motohagiography 6y agoOld people need to yell at each other? FB has peaked I think. Their endgame looks like Equifaxbook. Smart view on TikTok though. I thought the purpose of TikTok was for teenagers to be on a platform without their parents checking up on them, and the CCP was right there to collect kompromat on the next generation of potential western leaders. I am suddenly very optimistic about the purposes for how new platforms will emerge. Younger people will figure it out.
