- asdff 3y agoI feel like that's not even a sure thing going forward. Consider the present generation of adults. They might have grown up on early reddit, or forums, or even usenet. They have an expectation of how these things operate. Meanwhile, take the new generation. Some of them might go on old.reddit.com, some of them might only get exposed to the new version of reddit, some of them might not go there at all. As a whole, I'd say a higher percent of online discussion users in newer generations are on a platform like a walled garden, than a self hosted forum or niche subreddit today. This affects their expections and what they understand the internet to be going forward. It affects what sorts of websites or services are able to exist going forward as well. Our concept of the internet will likely die out along with our generation.
