Nope.
I think the news mega is a good indicator -- as long as 99% of the links to "Twitter-like" social media sites are still Twitter links, then it isn't being replaced any time soon.

And if Trump ends up returning to it, it might bounce back from the sheer attention he draws.
Behold: the power of monopoly.
