- dmix 3y agoSo basically like predicting Instagram will destroy Snap/Tiktok by cloning features like stories? One of those HN threads you see people bookmark and bring up years later to show HN's competence at prediction using only the current day market players which they glibly generalize as generic pools of social media users going to these sites for their feature sets, like buying CDs of software by looking at the back cover at a store in 1998.
