When content creators go, there will be no content left. The average user rarely posts and when they do its nothing worth reading.
It'll be interesting to see how much of the "content" is just bots farming headlines from newspapers, or recycling old content on a schedule. How much traffic is actually user traffic vs bot traffic? Makes me think of the dead internet theory.
It isn't going to die. It's just gonna go stagnant like Facebook. It's just gonna be doomscrollers and bots that scrape content and post the latest news.
