What is one thing Meta succeeded in copying and beat the original?

2 most recent - stories basically destroyed Snaps growth potential and Reels are on track to overshadow TikTok.

I don't see Reels being anywhere close to that. YouTube Shorts seems to be a more successful TikTok copy.

Well, MySpace for starters.

Facebook Marketplace seems to have totally replaced Craiglist as well, where I live, for buying/selling. Facebook Messenger took over e.g. MSN for a lot of people, the News Feed replaced a dedicated news site for a lot of people, and so forth. Events replaced Evite I think (or similar?), FB Photos basically replaced Flickr back in the day...

MySpace? Most of the other pre-Facebook social media sites too. It's not about being an exact copy, but sharing enough features that it can subsume those roles.

The all time classic would be Instagram copying Stories from Snapchat.

Snapchat. Only schoolkids use it these days.

Marketplace? I miss when Craigslist used to be popular :(

Snapchat

(I’d say that twitter killed clubhouse also)
