Simplicity is the key for sure
Agree. I was a social media addict. From Hi5, Myspace to    whatever the latest platform is, I have explored them all and nothing is interesting anymore except cute animal videos. Also, whenever I see my Facebook memories, i am amazed by my narcissism. Me me me me me. Sigh. >

Totally agree on the interest part. Everything’s mostly unoriginal. Do you think human beings are better off without these apps? >

I think we'll need them but mostly for news updates. That will always be a primary need  And News always triggers people to go down a rabbit hole, have conversations. The purpose of staying in touch with friends (original intent) will take a backseat. >

Yeah just think back to the 90s; everyone was happy as a clam without all the constant interconnectedness >

I think Facebook and Instagram will eventually go out of style, yes. But I don’t think we will ever fade from social media in general. There will just be some kind of new popular medium that reflects whatever trends or values are popular among the youth. >

The Metaverse (or something equivalent) is upon us. It's not a matter of if, but when. 
So, this is just the beginning. 
It's a dystopian nightmare, but what can we do? >

Well yeah possibly, facebook instagram etc might fade out but I just can't see social media and internet precense dying out, if anything there'll just be new social media sites that take over. It would be nice for people to turn away from it but I think its gonna rise before it falls (if it ever does, it seems like its gonna be our reality if anything) >

Familiarity breeds contempt? >

Isn't that happening already? I thought the users on facebook were going down a lot >

There would need to be something else to replace it. People may get tired of Facebook in general but I don’t think people will give up on having a platform that connects them to their family and friends. >

deleted all that crap 6 years ago, never returned. One of the best decisions of my life so far :) >

But I need to know about every fart that “influencer” or my friend’s wife lets…..
