Subreply is +6y old yet its value isn't clear. To me, it looks more like a minimal alternative to every other social media platform, where its purpose is to socialize, using only text, with everybody and talk about anything. We'll see how it evolves, but for now, it's a social platform for old school people who are nostalgic about the early Internet days.

Subreply is not as deeply engaging as Twitter or Facebook. It doesn't have flashing animations, movie stars, or entertainers. Further, most of the people who joined recently (like me!) came from Headline News, where we already have discussions. So, yeah -- engagement will drop. The question is: Can Subreply maintain a good core set of people, and build into its own media?

Does it need to build in to _anything_? Cannot it not just be what it is, without needing to be cultured and monetised? Like how things used to be...

Where I see subreply filling a niche is acting as a place for longer-paced discussions that span days, rather than a few minutes or hours. The problem with that is it's hard to navigate the interface at first, and there isn't a great tracking system in place for following various threads besides using save.
