My belief/hope about Twitter is that it won't be replaced by any single competitor, it will be replaced by a combination of people being a bit less online and spreading out their traffic and attention to multiple sites rather than making any one their home.
If Reddit spends the next 5 years slowly dying because it's too big to die quickly, that's the best we can realistically hope for.
- surgical_fire 4y agoI was going to say that if they kill RiF, I will most likely just never browse reddit, save from the odd web search that lands me in a thread. But the truth is that I seldom visit Reddit right now. It grew worse over time to the point of being nearly intolerable to me. I suspect that is the fate of any network that grows to the point of becoming ubiquitous. I don't think that Reddit will die, but I certainly won't be there to see what happened to it.
- corobo 4y agoTwitter is definitely being side eyed for sure. Currently keeping a check of how much I'm using it, but I do use that partially for marketing and keeping an eye on new tech HN also has a pass for now for the same new tech reason
