Crazy how TikTok don’t even seem so bad anymore thanks to the other two completely fucking imploding.
Does this reflect how the platform is actually doing or do we just like the circlejerk of wishing they would fail? Because everything I’ve seen says Reddit has been completely unaffected by the changes made and they’re still getting more user signups, engagements and interaction/posts than ever.
Tik Tok also seems to be growing strong.
Twitter is a genuine laughing stalk and is pulling major shit…but everyone still seems to be using it regularly.
If popularity was all that mattered, McDonalds would have Michelin stars.
Reddit is driven by search traffic and the results got a lot worse since a lot of good posters quit. They lost the content but not the users yet, I think it’s just going to take a long time before they truly see the damage in their traffic statistics!
The google-Reddit search got really screwed up when the private subs numbered 7-8000. I’m curious if there have been any lingering effects.
Elons shenanigans has to be worse than spez surely
Spez just copies what daddy Musk does, so give it some time
I’d exchange Reddit and X. The rate at which X is going downhill right now just cannot be beaten by anything.
Agreed. I mean I never expected Elon to be smart but good god is that dude an idiot. Everyone reading this could 100% do a better job in his shoes.
Came here to say this. X is doing worse than Reddit.
There’s metagame factors to this.
Reddit users often hate Reddit but feel stuck in it without alternatives that they can accept.
Twitter (it’s not X, fuck that silly aging “peaked in the XTREME 90s” divorce dad nonsense, I hope he cries more about it
) has lost a lot of users and the ones that are left are devoted cultists that pay money for relevance symbols on their accounts. 
TikTok has people that are hooked on the algorithm to the point that they may not bother even participating in any such survey because it isn’t on TikTok.

China isn’t hostile, afaik only the US has been hostile. And claiming that tiktok did that is equivalent to saying random American company is responsible for bombing Iraq

Right, that would make a lot of sense to do about the country that’s openly hostile to you. Oh, China has territory disputes with neighbors? The US will literally fucking bomb you to nothing for your oil, and/or stage a false flag coup to overthrow your government if they won’t sell them oil. We have also used corporate espionage to rewrite the laws of several South American countries into ineffectiveness, for the benefit of a fruit company. The two are not remotely comparable on foreign policy.

Literally none of that is true. If it is, provide a source. Who has China gone to full scale war with for their oil? Genocide was made up by a far right grifter named Adrian zenz. You’ve fallen hardcore American propaganda bro.

No, it doesn’t. Taiwan seceded from them, they aren’t trying to colonize it. America bombing Iraq and destabilizing SA governments is killing for oil. Buying oil from Russia is not that.

Didn’t they also use child labour in the US?
I think you might be confusing them with the other major Korean car maker Hyundai but it could have been both!
I feel like unity is the most likely to die. Their users are way more likely to switch to an alternative than people using reddit
Unity alternatives are also way more known than reddit or twitter alternatives
Indies yes but the big dick billion dollar in MTX mobile market won’t shift at all.
But the alternatives aren’t as developed. Godot still isn’t great for 3D projects and Unreal is Epic and also has royalty fees like Unity tried to add.
Unreal only has a 5% fee on games that made over 1 million USD
Unity wanted to add a 0.20 USD tax for every download after you made 200K USD 200K users(which changes depending on how many downloads your game has and which plan you are using)
Units pricing method could have been easily exploited, game developers would have to pay for people pirating their games, if a free to play game reached those requirments, it could cost them more than the game made, giveaways would cost game developers money and all unity games would have to collect data
