Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

No app better defines the changing nature of social media than Instagram. The app started as a digital scrapbook โ€” a place to keep up with real-world connections, close friends, and family. While other networks had more users (Facebook) or generated more news (Twitter), Instagram seemed to define the ideal form of this era of social media. Instagram became a verb, an aesthetic, and a generational signifier.

Garbage marketing platform dies horribly. Thousands of clueless "journalists" bereft.
