SN may never 10x users. It's may always remain niche but who knows there could be a tipping point along the way and wave of people join. It is hard to predict.

Will there ever be a replacement for Reddit?

If so, why wouldn't it be Stacker News?

reply

I'm not a fan of Reddit. But I wanna break the myth so....It's a far fetched lie that SN will ever replace reddit. However the truth is that It'll or it has already successfully replaced r/Bitcoin.

reply

It might be far-fetched but also platforms are much less permanent than we imagine them to be.

There are a lot of people who love the Reddit format but hate how Reddit is managed. Stacker News is for all of them and they just have to figure that out.

reply

BTW There are also people who hate how SN is managed.

I actually don't wanna compare SN to any other platforms. It's unique.

reply

We can acknowledge that SN is it's own thing without pretending it isn't more like some things than others.

It's a much more natural fit for Reddit refugees than TikTok refugees.

reply

Yes I agree in this sense. I'm sure you've listened about 'Quora'. I think SN is closest to it, not reddit.

reply

I'm familiar with Quora but I haven't followed anything going on with it.

I think I've seen a few critiques:

  • people think the rewards are gameable with friends zapping friends

anything else?
