    Yes! That’s what happened with Facebook too. Techy people left the platform long ago but it’s still really useful for other types of users, the ones who don’t really want to invest time into learning how to use a different platform.

    I deleted my account 7 years ago, but my SO is still using hers and it brings her real value. She is active in the local communities, uses the marketplace, etc.

    Ironically, I’ve been trying to get her to use Reddit more over the past few years…

      My SO also gets a lot of great travel and cooking tips from Tik Tok. She only recently made her reddit account lol. But that is for a medical forum, so also one that I dont expect to transition. Luckily for me, almost everything I used to follow was techy in some way, so I’m not bothered by the difference in content over here.
