1 year agoI think the difference is that each of us are contributing to a network instead of shouting into a void. Arguably, we are still shouting into a void, it just doesn’t have the chatmovingsofastnoonewillseeimgay effect yet. There’s an actual opportunity for engagement and discussion here though, for sure.
Reddit has 500 million MAU, and this is a conservative estimate. Youtube on the other hand, is sitting comfortably at 4x this number, 2 billion MAU.
Considering that, and the nature of the platform, I’m pretty certain they are too big to fail.
