Sure, but there's #1 in a market with 4% control of the market, vs #1 in a market with 85% control of the market.
The absolute rank doesn't really tell you where the next closest competitor is.
- postalrat 6y agoIs facebook and twitter in the same market as reddit? Digg was pretty big for the time. The competitor I used the most back then was slashdot and I'd say digg was considerably bigger.
- SV_BubbleTime 6y agoI think history has shown us that “too big to fail“ isn’t a real thing. That “big enough to get a bailout” is real, but I’m not sure if this would apply to Reddit’s future. I have an idea that the future will not be in content silos and volunteer moderation by power hungry people... but I certainly don’t know how to get there so I’ll wait. I suspect the future will be “subscription lists” you join that block things people you generally agree with flagged, but this may bubble issue like we have now.
- root_axis 6y agoThe "market" in this case is completely nebulous and demonstrably not zero sum. For example, the appearance of tiktok did not shrink YouTube, FB, reddit or any other big site.
