Found a reddit thread from 2019 predicting that social media algorithm changes would kill local news

I was digging through old bookmarks last night and stumbled on a post from r/Journalism where someone broke down exactly how the 2020 platform updates would destroy hyperlocal coverage. They listed specific metrics and timelines that played out almost to the month over the next 4 years. Has anyone else found old predictions that nailed a big industry shift this precisely?

Did that person mention whether they worked in the industry or just followed it closely enough to spot the pattern?
