Facebook vs Reddit
Facebook started first, in 2004, 1 year before Reddit.
Why Facebook lasted
- The social graph of people over 30, plus Marketplace, Groups, and WhatsApp as the actual prize.
- It is still where local institutions go because that is where the locals are.
Why Reddit lasted
- It is the comment section of the internet, and Google still sends people there for the human thread.
- Subreddits are institutions. They migrate slower than apps.
