Sometimes it feels like these people aren't alive. Like what do you mean??
If it's dead, why are fb and insta still around? Do us all a favor and nuke them.
I think most people are using those to consume content from people they don’t know.
Social media is dead because Meta killed it.
Maybe people have stopped posting as much... But I only stopped posting because the platform became filled with garbage and it's not worth my time to log on. If I could still interact with friends and family like you could 10 years ago, I would probably still be posting things.

The judge is currently facing articles of impeachment, just in case anybody was wondering if he was up for sale or not.
Interesting that the idea social media is dead comes from people preferring to interact with strangers' content than with their actual friends, combined with people actually posting less personal stuff themselves. I didn't realise that was a thing! Very weird.
Alright, let me know when TikTok and YouTube let my posts reach all the people I grew up with before being harassed out of my home area by the cops and banned from Facebook. I'm pretty sure a lot of them still believe the rumor someone started saying I killed myself.
