Ask HN: Are forum sites becoming extinct?

Hello, I used to hang out on forums all the time during my years as an electronics student in high school and university from 2005 to 2014 to research information and exchange ideas. Over time, discovery, content production and consumption on the internet have changed a lot. And I don't remember visiting a forum site for almost years. In the past, there were only specific forums on any subject, now there are social media groups and communities. However, these do not provide the same taste and quality as before. I used to want to join a forum and contribute, but now I am too lazy to comment anywhere. I am curious about your thoughts on this subject. Has our perspective on content consumption and production changed a lot as a society? Or have we been directed to a different tendency?

Note: I would be happy if you answered this question as if artificial intelligence tools did not exist. Because forums were still losing blood before artificial intelligence.
