> I guarantee you that in the next five years there's going to be a huge exodus out of the incumbent networks

Are you willing to change your mind on this?

What evidence do you have this will happen?

It does seem that social networks can have some generational stickiness. Wrestling my family away from Facebook feels like a lost cause. But younger relatives are more active on Instagram and some other options.

But I don't see what would trigger an exodus given that everything you and I might not like about the existing social media incumbents hasn't been enough to drive people away en masse so far.

You gotta take risks sometimes. The opportunity cost of me working on this vs other projects is my risk.

To be more precise about what I mean by exodus, I don't think that instagram is going away but I do think its utility as the de facto social network to keep in touch with friends is at risk. I know a lot of people who are quitting and I know a lot of people who don't really care for it but are on it because everyone else is on it. I'll probably have an IG still in 5 years but I see a world where I don't use it much.
