    I can definitely see certain brands doing well with their own forums. Sports teams would be a very good niche for hosting their own instances. Another one would be the entertainment industry. It’s just not feasible for companies that aren’t interesting to talk about. Like there won’t be a Coca-Cola instance worth a lot of users.

      Oh 100% with Sports teams. I could see movie studios making their own instances. Especially marvel or dc movies that are made in a series.

      You say companies wouldn’t make one but I’m willing to bet KFC, Tacobell, or Wendy’s would make a decent instance considering how get their ads have been the past 10 years.

      People need to get past the laziness that the Internet has become from automating copyright strikes of youtube to automoderating forums such as reddit. It was all with the goal of not paying people for their work and it’s ended up a cold and vapid internet.
