Someone in an unrelated discussion, wrote on LinkedIn that blackberry was profitable and grew for a few years after iPhone was anounced. The same for blockbuster after Netflix came to business. Then he was asking on what technologies today will be obsolete because an iPhone has emerged. For me lemmy or mastodon although slow but slowly will eat the competitors as they develop.
For me I am still reading Reddit since lots of information is there. But I am avoiding on participating there.
- Reddit has become yahoo answers for me. If an answer from Google pops up, read the top comment or two to get an answer and move on.
  
  I don't miss reddit. I tried tiktok, and it's kind of cool (gasp controversy) probably absorbs almost an hour of my day. Between Lemmy and tiktok I forget about Reddit, until I eventually read about it again on Lemmy.
  
  TikTok is great for fulfilling my desire for creative content and memes.
