Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one’s posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

I almost never use Facebook anymore because whenever I’m on it, all I see are posts from groups I’m not even in, ads, videos, and interspersed in all that algorithmically chosen content, the occasional post from people I actually follow and know. Social media isn’t social any more.
Even fricking tumblr now has videos on it, and you can only shut “tumblr live” off for a week at most before they come back.
I didn’t think anyone used Tumblr any more since they got rid of porn.
A solid amount of new memes I see are from Tumblr posts. A lot of people went back prior to Twitter changing ownership, and then many more after that too.
There was a bizarre transition to “other page” content on Facebook. It realised nobody posts there anymore, and tried to transition to a quasi Reddit. But the content it displays is pure garbage.
Facebook now fills half my page with the worst boomer memes. Then something updated and it scrolls the page right while I’m reading something. I don’t know why I even bother anymore.
I made a second facebook account just for chatting with my friends so from like 2k connections down to double digits and my feed is nothing but “other” posts.
I don’t even know why people would bother going to the site. I just go straight to messenger.
Yea. My whole Facebook feed is full of ads and posts from people I don’t even have on my friend list. I got fed up and barely go on there anymore.
God yeah Tumblr is so frustrating now. Like I get that a site needs to make money and I’m not even opposed to the gimmicks they have. But changing the look of it (which has been changed before but at least it made sense a lot of the time) to what is essentially a clone of Twitter. It’s frustrating to see a site I love so much, decide to kill itself and for what?
That and also the fact that they allow racism, transphobia, homophobia to fester. You’d think that a site that is pretty popular with the LGBTQIA+ crowd, they sure like to keep people around who would harm us.
