Reddit is too big to die quickly (unless they suffer a catastrophic failure), but it's easy to see that it was an inflection point for them, that it's downhill from here. Remember: at one point, it looked like Yahoo Directory and Internet Explorer would be around forever too.
Same for myspace. When was the last time that was relevant?
They all died due to competitive market pressure. Reddit and Twitter are dying due to managerial incompetence. I believe that Threads will be stillborn due to managerial incompetence, but we are yet to see.
apparently people are considering a return to myspace. i’ve seen the posts
In these days of Zuckerberg and Musk, Tom would be a huge win.
For that very same reason Tom said fuck all this, SOLD the whole thing and now lives his life doing whatever the f he wants. No way our boy Tom is about to come back with the whiteboard lmao he's got it good
Tom was my first Internet friend. I'm glad he's doing well
I don't blame them.
Join Myspace: Hi, I'm Tom! I'm your friend!
Join Twitter: TUCKER CARLSON SAYS THE LIBERAL UFOS ARE GOING TO STEAL DONALD TRUMP'S HAIR!!!!!
Hahaha, it's an interesting point. Myspace does still exist. But it's a shell of it's former self. We can only hope that someday reddit will be too.
