When is the social media bubble going to burst and how badly will it effect the overall market?

What's going to make it burst? What's going to make all these narcissists turn away from social media?

It's not because some shitty copy cat failed that it's going to burst. It's just some app taking a bigger part of the market. The entertainment business will keep going up don't worry.

Social media bubble will never burst because it is a military asset. Asking if Facebook or Twitter can fail is like asking of CNN or Google can fail -- they cannot fail because they will always be bailed out by military. It is much more likely that the big internet companies will fully merge with the government, ushering in an era of True Fascism.

This is like calling the telephone a bubble in 1900.

Social media is a reflection of humanity and only puts us closer to singularity.

Might as well short humanity son.

I hope it explodes soon, the ammount of cancer surrounding it is insane. Our generation and all below it are getting fucked by it without even knowing. Getting shaped into these self centered media seeking basic whores/cucks without any real value or ambition other than showing ass on ig to get money. Disgusting how far we've come from the ideals we had in the past.

I don't even give a shit about bubble or no bubble

But what's up with that fucking valuation? 25 billion for cat faces and shit?

I'll draw cat faces on myself every single day for half that.

Thankfully there exists a manual just for that purpose.

Basically, its Twitter tier. It will have a initial boom from about X (maybe 30) to lets say 72. Then crash back to 35. If it has bad management then its going to 18 and if good, settles at 36 until acquired by Microsoft. Then 120.

What was it even? Public snapchat with only the video function? A fool could have told him this wont work but it just shows how retarded he is. He's blessed with some talent in film making and creativity but I always had the feeling his whole youtube success just happenend mostly by accident and luck because every other aspect of his life seems fucked up.

it's a shitty version of Snapchat where you can't see what you're recording, or edit it.

That's literally it. He somehow got a $2 million investment from people who would be really pissed right now.

As soon as decentralized social networks appear.
They will become competitive when the innovation curve in the social media sphere flattens.

[Anonymous No.1633429]

Big Social Media (FB+co, Snapchat) will never die, it's cemented into culture and changes with it.

Twitter, however, is an exception because its not monetized. Social media as a whole, and those established will never end.

>>1633412
Regarding decentralization, the establish social media companies can easily (funds are a non issue for FB) shift their infrastructure into one that's 'pseudo-decentralized' while maintaining 80-90% of their userbase.

Some produce good content and their fame is just a logical consequense of it because people watch good content, or at least content with high production value.

[Anonymous No.1634924]

When people realize it is not substantial in any way, shape, or form.

The only reason is remains popular is because of advertising. Without ads or people looking at the ads, there is no way those companies could support their infrastructures. It would die out in ~1 month leaving only niche social media platforms.

I would highly recommend to anyone that uses social media: delete your accounts, delete the apps, and do not support the circle jerking that provides no real value whatsoever.

[Anonymous No.1634950]

The problem are not the social media platforms but the business surounding them.

> Buzzfeed and Vox Media have collected hundreds of millions of dollars in vc
> FB changed the newsfeed algo
> Traffic decreased in more than 70 percent in the last year
> 70 percent of people consume their news from FB

See?

yeah and this is like 0.0000001%

look at the top youtubers, they are all dumb neurotypicals uploading daily effortless garbage.

i mean playing minecraft and other aspie games and literal niggers reacting to stolen content are the millionaries while you commute. Just lol at our collective lives. This is why I refuse to be a working incel bee. Might as well lay down and rot.
