I don't think that they will resume too soon.
Nowadays it's so tough in the paid to post forum industry because the revenue from the ad revenue that forums solely depend on for their income.

I honestly do not think they are dying, every so often I see new forums coming to the internet, in addition many of them last a long time and are stable, we can give examples like BMF, Reddit, 4chan, blackhatworld, forumcoin, and I could tell you a few more, so I do not know where the thought of thinking that they are dying comes from.

There are forums dead already like Post Bucks and others dying like Trendri and others unknown to us. There are writing sites that were closed how much more to a forum that relies on revenues?

That's right we need to be obedient and to follow the policies like not spamming the site. We're also required to write back to before upgraded 30 words up. We won't get paid.

The website owners and admins should take some time to realize that they cannot start earning revenue from day one and t takes time so they need to be patient about it

Ads as one sources of revenue must be always checked. I no longer see ads here on RIF,perhaps it's due to my android phone that I'm using. I will check it tomorrow morning using my laptop.

The economic meltdown affect everything which means that the online businesses are not excluded. This is exactly what affected the forums and most of those forums are not living up to expectation as well.

There could be a lot of reason that internet forums are mostly dying one of which could be use of chat Gpt in forums and articles writing. Even I read somewhere as some people using it for answering the question of Quora.

Another reason people lost interest in forums are videos. Especially short ones. People like more watch and listen than read. We can see tiktok or youtube. Youtube recomend videos not to be longer than 8 minutes.

Most forums are closing because of low revenue from advertisers. The owners of those forums are forced to use their own money for maintenance and so they close it due to the great expense..
Yup, a lot of forums are closing because of the revenue, and I think it's not their fallout because of that. Because of that, we need to be active on those who are still here and legit.

I agree there are people who feel bored if forums focused on videos and the pay is peanut. I experienced this watching s video for 2 hours but payment none.

Yeah forums are bound to die off with no sustainability. They are closing because of the limited revenue generated, and I think forum owners need to do more to generate income for their forums

That's one reason why post bucks turned bankrupt. The site owner relied only on his YouTube channel. It must be numerous ads to surround the site. I see only very few ads on RIF.

It is true that a lot of forums are dying simply because of lack of proper management . Preferably, forums existed today because they are properly managed and they are able to get enough revenue.

I believe many reasons for low rate of engagements in forums is due to the fact that the pay from the sites are no longer as they were before and which is due to reduced number of online advertisers paying to be advertised on the sites which is one of the ways the sites make money to pay those engaging in it.
Yup many paid to post forums stopped paying or they pay very low people were super active on paid to post forums back in the days but now definitely less people are interested

From what I know, the reason seems to be that such sites no longer receive enough money from sponsors or Google Adsense. However now they are depopulating among others, sites for teenagers such as Tik Tok and Instagram. Another free site subsidized with offers is Wikipedia.
