The past decade of social media was about capturing attention. The next generation of social media will be about capturing intimacy.

Haven't seen it put that succinctly before, but yeah, makes perfect sense; and how much more sticky is intimacy for maintaining engagement and potentially converting that engagement into dollars.

Interesting times.

I don't disagree.

Big Tech fake-ified interaction between people on social media. People felt hollow and deprived of something and so seek "real"ness. Big Tech shall provide, commodify, and drain once again.
