Hot-take: Are social media platforms all fundamentally just fad services that burn out due to bad design decision accumulation and/or unsustainable business models?
Friendster. AIM. Match. MySpace. Facebook. Tumblr. Flickr. Tinder. Twitter? TikTok? All dying or dead.
Elon is going to break Twitter. Will the US gov ban TikTok? What will come after?
Only exception I can imagine is Reddit, although it may just be slower given that it’s more of a forum than social media. It has its own myriad of technical problems that bog it down.

It has its own myriad of technical problems that bog it down. Reddit has banned everyone interesting that used to post there. Now it's just repost bots replaying to repost bots.
- jrgoff 4y agoThat's not my experience, but I mostly only subscribe and read smaller subreddits many of which I have found quite interesting and helpful.
- thrown_22 4y agoThen you're not looking very far. Go to a discussion from 5 years ago which talked about something useful in any topic and you'd find more than half the people were banned.

- onetimeusename 4y agoyes and no. Some social media sites are still around after a long time but I think a big perk of these apps is having an 'in crowd' that produces content. Once the site is too popular it attracts people who are no longer in the in crowd and people move on. What does this have to do with the post though?
