this is an interesting question i've had banging around in my mind since well before Reddit's implosion (and Discord's enshittification), but which seems really worth asking now....
I think no, but not because of the growth of the internet, but rather the reluctance of change within forums. I used to be a member of a Disney forum and the userbase became quite toxic and echo-chambery. With stuff like discord and reddit, its easy to just create a new subreddit/discord to join if the mods and userbase of the main sub/discord become bad. Not so much with forums.
The problem is, the answer to "how I watch x show otherwise" is pirate, which is an activity many people simply don't know how to or has many loops in order to make it work.
I think it would take a while for any social media to have one, then again I didn't expect Reddit to shit the bed the way it has. If there's any that I think will be specifically fast, it would be Twitch.
Youtube is the least likely, no matter how many times it shits the bed, people stick to it because all the other video sharing services simply aren't supported by the big content creators.
To be fair, they're the main band I've listened the most from. I have listened to discographies from other bands, but none have hit as well as them for me yet. Queens of the stone age comes very close though. Plus I am more of an individual song person when it comes to listening to music.
I like a whole lot of different things haha. I do have a main playlist set up of what I consider my favorite songs, if you're interested. It is kinda long though (I listen to lots of music).
Some other bands I really enjoyed are the Strokes, Pearl Jam, Beck. I like some Weezer, but I over listened to the band trying to listen to as many demos as I could.
This is how Reddplanet (my last main reddit app before shit went down) did things.
All the functionality was free, but if you wanted full theme support gotta pay. It was probably my favorite payment method ever.
Right now the user count Lemmys is comparatively tiny when held up against reddit - but the user count isn't the thing that makes a social media site, it's the engagement...
What game mechanics do you enjoy or that surprised you when playing a game? I recently started playing Tunic and I love building out the "manual" for the game and getting hints on how to play.
I'm bad at explaining but I love Kirby's boss battles, they're simple, challenging, and somehow extremely cinematic. Just can't get enough of them. If there's more games that are just the boss battles as a full game let me know.
This is another subreddit I'd really, really miss if/when reddit goes down. Indie and alternative are my personal favorite genres of music, and indieheads is currently my favorite way to find new releases and old classics....

do you think older-style internet forums have a place in the future of the internet?

Hoping this is correct. Whats a Thread under a magazine, especially vs. a Microblog
And why must I create a new 'article' to make a thread and not a post - which I think makes a new microblog....

so, which Big Tech company do you think is going to shit the bed next and popularize its Fediverse/FOSS equivalent in the process?
