In the workspace Slack is very big and is very analogous to a supremely polished IRC. Discord outside of professional workspaces is similar, though a bit more detached.

To me, these are the mass market evolutions of IRC from back in the day.

Precursor to one of the units being acquired perhaps.

Wizard with a Gun has the potential to be a great roguelike hit. I describe it as Gunfire:Reborn and Hades had a baby in terms of how it controls and feels ( not the story). It's still super early for them, but I liked what I played a lot, and has controller support for comfy couch gaming too.

At the very least competition is needed.

YouTube is getting increasingly user-hostile with monetization with the huge increase in pre-roll and mid-roll ads, starting to lock resolutions above 1080p behind a paywall ( this was reported months ago but I've recently stumbled into my first two videos where 1080p60 and above was paywalled), and even getting aggressive on adblockers.

You can make the same comment between Facebook being 'easier" than Reddit. Or forums being easier than IRC.

A natural order is as user mass increases, ease of use improves. I think it's fine to acknowledge the challenges while continuing to spread the message and leveraging early adopter influence with folks comfortable doing some reading to understand vs a casual "mom" internet user that needs a very safe, templated app experience without many (or any) customization options.

Remove your source of free volunteer labour that permits the site to essentially function from the mass user perspective. What could go wrong Reddit?

A digg moment in the making, reminds me of the futile hd-dvd decryption key Digg admin removal attempts well over a decade ago.
