They’re dead as social media; all anyone uses them for is piracy these days and not to, you know… Talk to people.

I think IRC could be made more appealing pretty easily though. Just make a client for it with a slick UI and features like Discord has (like voice and video chat, not simply text), and then allow any Nitro-like shit for free.
