    Yeah I feel the future of social media is gonna be more private self moderating chats. Especially as AI generate content will fill ppl feeds with more and more clutter it’s bound to happen. I don’t have the stats on me, but most ppl lurk and rarely post, I read. So with less posters and more lurkers it’s becoming less interesting .

    Like I only recently started posting a couple of years ago not daily or even weekly but occasionally because, I realized that some body has to post, and why not it me?

      As with anything, I’m sure the Pareto principle applies - something like 10% of people provide 80% of the content. I’ve seen stats that seem to support that social media reflects Pareto, or even lower.
