In my mind the novelty of social media has begun to run its course. It’s selfies, memes, occasional life status, arguing, advertisements and mostly politics.
Do you think that people are growing tired of it? It certainly seems that people are become more aware of the dangers of social media. Will this be something that tailors down into anonymous social media (like TD.win) in the future? Will it be nuked by Trump’s EO (Facebook, Twitter and the like for election meddling)?
Of course I feel nostalgic for when social media was just a gimmicky thing to put a playlist and change your background on MySpace. Now it seems like the only way to “stay in touch” with certain people you’ve known. Is the latter a valid enough reason for longevity? I’d be very interested in your input Pedes.
Thank you.
I have used social media to make money for years but I don't care anymore. I would love to see it go away. We can do blogs, text messaging, email, and boards like this. It would be nice.
The younger generation has literally grown up with this and it is their only reality. As well, vanity never dies. Plus, it leads to the new way of making money: doing stuff online. Kids are "streaming" all kinds of shit now, and getting money for it. It's a weird world out there now.
