The Power of Small Communities
Social media seems to be undergoing a paradigm shift. As interest rates rise and further user growth becomes more allusive, many companies have been trying different tactics in order to increase profits. In the case of Twitter, this may be to breakeven. In the case of Meta, this is driven by being a large public company with demanding shareholders. In the case of Reddit, it seems to be a combination of the two. Regardless of the underlying reasons, one thing is for certain, users and spin off projects that ultimately depend on the underlying social network are beginning to feel the changes acutely.
