I don't think its spam and trolls that doomed Usenet.

usenet started 45 years ago and remains active, but because most newsgroups
are unmoderated, insiders that prefer moderation have never accepted usenet
as a viable alternative to their collective "nanny state" comfort zone, and
old-fashioned plain text must seem very outdated to the modern day in-crowd
with their noses glued to their phones . . . so to them, usenet never "died"
because it never lived to begin with, at least not in their jetsetter lives
