Internet forum problem

The Internet forum problem refers to the phenomenon that traditional Internet forums are dying rapidly.

Social media sites have been displacing Internet forums.

Reasons include:

• Social media sites like Reddit and Facebook Groups could aggregate content from multiple discussion groups.
• Social media sites provide a single log-in.
• Social media sites already have a larger userbase. It's easier to obtain traffic for a new subforum on a social media site.
• Traditional Internet forums have software that is often not up-to-date.
