Ethereum as this generation’s MySpace? What do you think about this analogy

MySpace was one of the first massively successful social media websites. Many would consider it to be ahead of it's time, as it reached widespread popularity before sites like Twitter and Facebook were invented. Moreover, MySpace found success well before social media became a cornerstone of the internet and web 3.0. While MySpace was successful, ultimately it was the social media companies that emulated MySpace's model that became the most influential, profitable, and dominant.

If the future of the internet is going to be defined by blockchain technology and decentralised apps, perhaps Ethereum won't be the champion of this architecture. It was and still is ahead of it's time, much like MySpace was. If the same pattern follows, another project might come along, emulate Ethereum's success, and surpass Ethereum. Maybe Ethereum is just too early and by the time there is demand for this technology, something newer and shiner will have popped onto the scene to take it's place.

I really hope this won't be the case, as I'm a huge fan of Ethereum. But this was just a thought I had today and I wonder if there's any validity to this argument.
