Reply to comment by RamaSchneider in What will the future of social media look like? by PhyllisBentley

Dunno reddit is also social media and I don't see it going away.
It becomes more moderated to follow laws and ToS which it already does to a significant higher account then couple of years back.

I agree with you regarding Reddit being part of "social media", and I think Reddit in particular is well suited to a future model.

What will have to change, in my thinking, is how outside information can be forced into what we know as a sub-reddit. That's where the closed system comes into play: the curating part.

(As an aside, I'm the type that likes to indulge in a random inflow for a bit every day)

So if Reddit changes in that way, I don't think it reflects what we know today - but I could be way off on all this.

That's basically why I sort the Frontpage by rising/top all regularly. You see much more smaller subreddits this way and it's easier to participate in discussions.

Reddit’s days are numbered. “Dear ChatGDP5, please simulate for me a message posting platform focused on the topic of politics. Give me a mix of 10% learning new things, 10% lame inside jokes, and 80% correcting idiots who post obviously wrong things that I can sarcastically correct. Mix in my favorite recurring personalities from the last session.”

People won’t write long messages anymore after they get used to how accessible the most complex of information will be. It will get that good.
