I don't think the goal of tech companies is to just "go on indefinitely." Their investors need them to make billions of dollars.

Well of course, I was only responding to the point about whether the website made any money without advertising.

Given that the technology is solved, and the financing is solved, I wish there were a way to build such a website with such a community without the cycle always ending in its destruction for the sake of profit.

They did, once, and called it IRC. It's still good.

Even freenode is no longer good. At least it had to be renamed libera chat.
