Some forums seems to be getting less active these days. People seems to be moving to social media and less people are participating in forums. Forums are still very useful resources but I see that there are some forums with very little activity these days. Of course, there are still active forums but it seems like only the very big forums are doing well. The smaller and middle-sized forums seems to be struggling. I won’t name any forums here but I do see a lot of forums losing activity every day.
Do you think forums are dying? What are your thoughts about the future of forums?

Now I usually see more corporate blog posts and other types of websites.
I think forums will continue to exist in some small way. I actually prefer them over corporate blog posts/answers to my questions. I like to hear from real people, not an editor who did research on a topic. I remember back a few years ago (2010 and prior) when you would search for a question on Google and you'd see mostly forum results. You'd usually get an answer or could at least join in to the conversation. I remember also seeing a lot more Yahoo Answer results as well. I believe Google doesn't index them as well and with the rise of social media platforms, they are taking the place of forums. Now I usually see more corporate blog posts and other types of websites.
