    The crazy thing about this day and age is how quickly the disruptor can become the disrupted. Stay on your toes and move quickly, there is no defense.pic.twitter.com/SyOgcdA0eL

        1/ Hm is discord now being positioned against hipchat? I thought slack killed hipchat? Sure ppl are using discord for chat rooms (in addition to voice) but I don’t think those ppl were ever hipchat users to begin with. Almost all of discord’s use case revolves around gaming.

        2/ imo if discord is to survive and thrive independently (self sustaining vs acquisition), and they are $130M pre rev, their only shot is to disrupt Steam, the monopoly on game sales/game App Store but antequated social gaming experience

        Discord is more community so I see a better fit with twitch

        i view twitch as one to many community. it's a platform for streamers to reach an audience. discord is different: it's a platform for ppl to digitally hangout with their friends. (more akin to slack, but slack is that for work not play). most similar to steam imo.

        Steam community isn’t really a thing - they never really figured it out. I think game district will be taken over by twitch + Amazon, gg steam.

        Steam community is barely a thing; they definitely missed the bigger opportunity imo. Their revenue is so insane (compared to discord) that if they can actually get some good product ppl in there they may have a chance to salvage a community experience.

        changing product direction and culture at that point is almost impossible - in the end it's about the monetization stack. Which amazon will disrupt (already starting with launches, game loot, etc)

        Tbh it’s hard to think of major successful examples of established co’s adapting to something like that. Facebook stories is maybe the best ex? Amazon has a game store? Didn’t realize that. Links to any articles ab it’s rise?

        I work a lot with discord related things, and I wouldn't compare to hip chat/chat work/slack. Audience is very different, only similarity is the UI. The majority of discords users are young gamers who never heard of hipchat or slack. Still - they are crazy disruptive though🤞📈

        I think about this a lot. When Compaq mounted a serious challenge to IBM and then Dell showed up, at the time that seemed like it all happened so fast. Now seems glacial in comparison

        Slack killed hipchat - discord killed ventrilo, teamspeak and raidcall. Kinda think amazon will buy them

        1/2 There is always a defense, its a great offense & someone or a team looking out for the what ifs...also a mgmt staff thats open to listening and adaptation not just blindly driving towards a goal because they think the founder/a board know it all.

        2/2 I loved challenging/fighting with my boss, we became best friends and the company thrived because of it. Too many founders/board members can't check their ego/resume for the benefit of the company... thus a disruptor is born.

        It's a stark contrast, but Slack disrupted Hipchat way prior to to the rise of Discord.
