Yep. As someone who just tried social media again this summer, mostly as a promotional tool, there’s been a downward usage trend. I think the events of October 7 didn’t help.

Too soon to call this good or bad for any singular reason, but what sucks as a result is how hard it is to build an audience now. The network effects are shattered. It’s a shame because I think the Instagram creation tools are kind of neat. If that service was just a digital community bulletin board where every post expired after 30 days or something… idk, could be cool.

Or a massive pendulum swing back to more analog, offline groups.
