WTF is happening with Social Media?

Overall Youtube Views have sinked a lot.
Facebook engagement is dead.
SnapChat user count is flat.
Twitter engagement zero except for couple journalists, Trump and some cryptofags.
Crypto only relevant to max 3 million people.


Instagram I guess still being used.
Musically being used by kids.
Discord has grown a lot.
Spotify has grown a lot.
Netflix has grown a lot.
Telegram has grown a lot.
Reddit kind-of growing.
Fortnite has grown a lot.

WHERE IS THE ATTENTION GOING TO???
WHAT AM I MISSING?? WHAT ARE THE NORMIES DOING RIGHT NOW??

[Anonymous No.10478448]

I only use Snapchat anymore, and it's just to talk to like 3-4 friends. But even then we are slowly migrating back to SMS.

Facebook I keep around to make ex's jealous with vacation pictures and maybe the odd party invite.

LinkedIn because HR are retarded cunts.

The rest can go to hell; twitter, instagram, whatever else, has zero effect on my life or any of my friends lives.

What people need to realize about the social media companies, is they were all started and propped up with government money. That's what comprises most of Silicon Valley. It is the furthest thing from "free market". Nobody is willing to pay for the social media services. Literally the only thing they are useful for is collecting information.

It will be interesting what happens to society if/when these things go the way of the dodo. I've been depressed about my social situation for years now. Maybe the ground will improve.

Then again, maybe it will just get 10x worse.

I'll also point out that, being a millennial that came of age and got "social" around 2009-2010, I don't really remember what or how people interacted outside of school or classes pre-social media. A lot of people my age or younger don't. Although I desperately want these companies to disappear overnight, the results on wider society could be entirely unpredictable. We might go back to the 80's-90's, or we could go to something really fucking weird.

This. They never had a business model beyond advertising.

Not smart. Alphabet took a shit on US gun owners, even pissy animal rights people, not smart. They simply make people unhappy and encourage narcissists and lying. They are toxic. Facebook I fucking dead. Google may survive if it gets real humble real quick, youtube is currently fucked.They have been toxic for the net forcing identity posting and ruining lives.

It's Instagram that's truly awful.

You're also exposed to whatever male celebrity is being shilled, & the superficiality of our species is really laid bare. Like the other anon said it's highly curated, all the 'good' in one's life is exhibited, some of the more shrewd Instagram famewhores blog about their hardships but it's highly strategic. The whole thing is very hyperreal & depressing. Especially when you consider that some people spend the only part of their year when they're not encumbered by wagecuckery--their vacation--getting bussed around to boring European landmarks solely for pictures to upload to the Matrix for Matrix credits.

Not sure if this is a million dollars idea, but it sure is a hundred thousand dollars idea.

A repository for revenge porn indexed by name, nationality, age and online nicknames. You can type in your town or country and see a lot of well indexed and searchable revenge porn.

It should be a dapp completely untraceable, decentralized and anonymous. There should be no legal risk to uploaders, hosts or downloaders.

Regarding monetizations it could be supported by asking a coin fee for browsing, a coin incentive for uploading or hosting files or some other ways.

Im not sure how to prevent cp from plaguing the app, but Im sure we can brainstorm something here.

Do you think is it technologically possible to launch a completely anonymous image repository? Something that cannot be taken down once uploaded with no way to send anyone to jail. Im pretty sure a revenge porn app like this would be really popular.
