I think social media has been on a gradual decline for a while tbh. Various platforms have done some awful things like algorithms, advertising bombardment, inciting hatred and violence, political interference, security concerns, child safety, stupid decisions from the powers that be, etc, and have ruined the experiences for users. People are right to question "the system" as it stands.
Without a serious rethink of what social media needs to be and how it can best integrate into people's lives (unlike the constant brain-fart ideas that have morphed it into what we see today), the decline into irrelevance will only accelerate.
It's like streaming. When it was just Netfilx it was okay, now there's too much competition for people to keep up.
Exactly! There's so many platforms (for streaming and for social media) now, that I hardly bother with any of them...I've simply stopped giving a damn, and prefer to put my head into the real world, haha!
The number of times my partner will say to me, "did you see what I sent you on Instagram" or some other app, and I'm like nope! Haha!
