I work a lot in and on social media (unfortunately lol) so I’ve been watching the trajectory with interest. One thing I have absolutely noticed is more niche, focused spaces growing for creators. Substack for writers, for example.
I do think fb, Instagram, Twitter etc will always hang around. Like roaches in an apocalypse. They are designed to be intentionally addictive after all. But they will lose a lot of power and won’t be what they once were.
I use social media for my (unpaid) work (it's all volunteer stuff!) So I post our articles to Twitter. But it's been interesting. I wonder if we'll ever move to Mastodon. Might have to ask.
Do you think 'like dead malls' is a more appropriate metaphor?
