I've noticed that a lot of my friends switched from text based status updates (Facebook) to image based status updates (Instagram stories). Personally, I got tired of going on Facebook because it was all rage baiting political stuff, and that was all from friends, not even ads.

Instagram stories seems to be dieing too, except for the professional and business accounts I follow

The bar is just so high, everywhere.

I want to fire off a quick quip and have a conversation.

Reddit is probably the only place where this works any more, but you have to be prompted by the right thread and early.

So people throw up their hands and go, "why bother?"

Reddit is so negative though. There was an event I went to, and according to Reddit it was a shit show, but checking my Facebook, everyone that went had a wonderful time!

With Reddit it's sort of a status signaling thing.

Like saying - I am too good for this thing.

Your disapproval of something is supposed to show your standards are high, and you got some elite taste.

BTW you can see some variations of that here also.
