> As has been mentioned a few times: When Digg fucked up, reddit existed as a growing but small competitor. Reddit has no such competitor. In all honesty I think Discord is the competitor. You can join dozens of communities under one login, lots of creators and studios set up their own server, set up a private server for friends, and there's more control over who can join and see content. I mostly use it to keep in contact with a couple of friends, so I bet there's even more that could be done.

Unfortunately there’s no discord equivalent of <product review> site:reddit.com

  How will I ever learn the opinion of 19 year old college students now?

    Thats not true, the site is full of passionate, experienced users in all different interests and areas. I dont know what you've been looking at but it hasnt been my experience at all. You get a really good consensus on whats good, whats bad, where to start with so many different things. Its essentially an add on for google search now if you want good quality opinions.

  I suspect that discord is the replacement for reddit. There's a 90-9-1 rule of thumb ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule https://www.nngroup.com/articles/participation-inequality/ https://www.nngroup.com/articles/participation-inequality/ ) and a migration from reddit to discord will benefit the 9-1 portions and provide a net loss to the 90% (lurkers / people who find content via google). You can't make a community go somewhere. The the place that it ends up is on discord (and irc in times before), then discoverability for the rest of the population that aren't participants in that community will suffer along with the companies that previously hosted that content and were able to monetize their eyeballs. ... but isn't that what people have been wanting? "Down with {big corp}!" be it google or reddit or Facebook?

For sure. I asked on a subreddit what the next biggest community for X is, and they pointed me at the discord
