    It has everything to do with viability. Something is not a viable alternative if no one can be convinced to use it.

      They can be convinced. They just haven’t been. That’s not the same thing. Not viable means not capable.

        No, not really.

        Viable: “the ability to live, grow, and develop” or “the ability to function adequately” or “the ability to succeed or be sustained”

          Take your pic of any of those, it’s still not that.

            “sustained” is relevant.

            I’m guessing if “literally” is your best adverb, then you may not be practiced in supporting normies trying to cope with seemingly capricious tech changes.

              “sustained” is relevant.

              User adoption does not make it sustainable. Many of them are nothing more than protocols. Code. It lives forever even if there are zero users.

              I think you have me confused with another poster but thanks for the personal insult.
