> It makes sense that often the old things have to die for the new things to truly take over the ecological niche.
The real problem is when the old things die and nothing has really filled their niche. NG is a good example, I think.

Traditional media has become replaced by Social media.
A good Youtube Adventure film, such as a tour of a beach town or historic town, a safari documentary, or a foodie tour, scratches my adventure itch quite well-- along the same vein as a magazine article, yet a film feels more sensory-immersive.
But there is nothing that I've seen that fills the niche that NG filled at all. If you just want a shallow look at another place, then yes, there is plenty of that online. But that wasn't NG's thing.
It's not just NG. We have lost quite a lot of really valuable things, never to be replaced with anything comparable.
