I've been saying, the current leaders are too big to fail or get disrupted by competition, but if there's a silver lining it's that in lieu of a better Reddit happening we may realize it's a good time to start being less online.

Reddit is not too big to fail.
is not it in the top 5/10 websites in the world?
How does that make it too big to fail?

Are people worried about their deposits? Was Twitter too big to fail? Myspace? Digg?

Did Twitter fail?
Yes.
It has failed to remain good/worthwhile. But what I meant is that it's too big to go away and get replaced by something else completely. It has so many users staying there out of habit/inertia, it will take a decade for them to dwindle away.
Aside from some advertisers leaving, what other metric are you basing this on?
