Facebook was about staying in touch, IG was photography. Substack…
Every social platforms’ original intent has a shelf life, and every revision, reimagining of its use, or creation of a better mousetrap is an effort to squeeze another drop from a drying faucet.
I’m a realist more than a pessimist. I’ve run the race on social media for personal and professional reasons. After the election, I shut down my FB and IG accounts and solely engage here. I find myself sharing less and less unless it’s something new I’ve written. The devil is in the (pointless) details. I love the trove of great work and experiences I find here but I already see the erosion.
I'm with you, Matt. I haven't even been here for a year yet and I already see how people are gaming features like Notes in the same way they did IG, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Someone needs to shout from the rooftops and remind people that every though you have in your mind doesn't need to be shared online.
I can really relate to the 96-98 generation. I remember life before social, but just barely!
