Sure, i might want to follow an influencer or two and look at their videos, but I want my "feed" to be "social", so people i choose to follow, be it real life friends, or even influencers, but not "random" content from sources I don't follow. I have a lot of friends who have moved abroad, changed jobs, had kids, etc., and social networks gave me all that info, plus I could contact them in a "lighter" way than taking the phone and calling them, plus you could make groups of people (classmates, coworkers from previous job, etc.). There were also a lot of "we're at <local bar>, if anyone wants to join us" posts back in the time, and since i lived 5 minutes away, I joined or even posted that status if I was one of the first people there, and other came... now it's hours of coordination just to meet for a beer. Basically, it was easier to reach people who are "not that close" to you that you would directly call them, and you find out stuff (who moved where, who has a kid now, etc.). Now I don't know any of that, but I get served a fake video of someone inserting a battery into the antenna connector of a tv. |
