I get it: Twitter is under pressure

Love it.

But, I generally feel social media is dying in far bigger ways than just these dilutions.

People don't trust it, and are caring far less.

The hey-day and the novelty has completely worn of for the majority who are not narcissistic enough to put the energy in to arguing or self-promoting.

Reality is king! Musk and Zuck and Xi are just all jostling for slices of a crusty, smelly pie.

People slow down for car accidents, too.

The days of simple joy when connecting with friends on Facebook are well behind us.

People understand it's a certain type of person who actively posts their photo on Facebook and their opinion on twitter. While the majority of normal people remain lukewarm at best.

How is Snapchat 3 times of TikTok? Is it due to the ban in India?

not trusting or caring so much about social media is the absolute best thing that can happen to social media. and i don't mean that in a negative way, i don't hate social media. it should be a fun thing, people blindly trusting it or caring too much about it makes it less fun.
