I guess it's correlated to the commercialization of those platforms. The amount of content which is actually from your friends and families is declining and was replaced by adds and viral content. If facebook would've been from the beginning what it's now, we probably never would have named it 'social media' in the first place.

Big time. I visit once/year and I'm always amazed at how useless Facebook has become.

I could barely find any updates from my friends, my feed is now an endless stream of AI-generated videos.

What's the use for that?

Facebook has become a community hub for me more than anything. Mountain biking, snowmobiling, contracting, VJing - there are lots of groups out there with very real and human discussion. You couldn't pay me to go back to reddit for that stuff.

You're right though, rarely do people post to their own timeline these days. I think it's the 90:9:1 social media stasis playing out.

Doom scrolling. For people who get hooked it can be very very addictive.
