LinkedIn vs Reddit

Why LinkedIn lasted
- It is the resume that other people can see, and hiring still starts there.

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.
