Will Toasters replace today's social networks (Odnoklassniki, Vkontakte)?

I think narrow-topic resources similar to Toaster should soon take over most of the audience of "general purpose" social networks.
What I like:
- the specifics of communication;
- no bots and advertising (commercial) participants;
- more friendly (in the sense of helping) audience;
- conveniently built interaction between the participants;
- you become a little smarter when you get an answer to your own question, and when you answer someone else's question yourself;
- the ability to communicate with real people on a topic on which there is no one to talk to offline within a radius of 100 km. In general, it seems to me that bans like "this question is easy to google" are wrong. I try to answer even the most primitive questions if I can help. Everyone has a different level of preparation. It happens to me that a question has arisen. You understand that it is elementary, but because of it you need to dig through half of Google and kill your brain with passing, unnecessary information at this particular moment. The toaster in this respect is a salvation.
I think there will be a division into purely entertaining (visual) resources (Odnoklassniki, Vkontakte) and information-thematic such as Toaster. I would like something similar for cars. Of course, there is such a resource as Drive2, but there, in order to find out "a chain or a belt is on a particular car", you need to re-read tons of exciting novels about visiting a service station and tuning "my swallow".

This will never happen. Girls need to post photos of what they ate or where they are going)
Yes, you are exaggerating that many people will be interested in such resources like Toaster :)

No, they won't be forced out. Here's what you like - it's just the difference between a toaster, a stackoverflow, etc. from social networks. It is impossible to call a toaster a social network in the full sense of the word. Especially the first point.
By the way, there are advertising participants, they are just promptly removed ....

Of course not, just all sorts of social networks killed most of the projects in the form of questions and answers.

Of course, I understand that many social. networks are associated with cats and blondes with a camera, but in fact, many go there simply because the information in the feed is very dynamically updated there. I think it's called procrastination. Just get a lot of small portions of some fresh information. And here you can procrastinate and communicate with the Benefit.
I've actually been on the Toaster for a week actually, but I feel like it's the Thing - when you ask a specific question, and after 8 minutes you get a specific answer. It's all IT, of course. But it seems to me that in every industry there are such subtleties that it becomes necessary to ask someone about. And ordinary thematic forums eventually turn into information dumps.
It seems to me that the Toaster format is something between Odnoklassniki and thematic forums, but the impressions are only positive.
