Bigger giants have been felled by less, but not a good year ahead for the longer-surviving socials media.
And look, I know it's fub and popular to rightfully dunk on Reddit for being a shithole, but once you do your filtering and subreddit selection and such, it's basically a set of giant forums that churns out a LOT of good, useful news on topics, and it has searchable post history. That's leagues better than Discord, or many other near unsearchable, free-hosted forums.
There's a reason many good search results only ne autofill "+ Reddit" as a suffix to a query. Does that negate the bad? No. Would it be a global loss if Reddit stopped being useful?
I think yes.
Same goes for YouTube. All backslides and glaring issues knowingly aside, YT is a repository of knowledge, and to lose its functionality would be awful.
