TikTok and Instagram isn't really all that different to TV. Social media generally feels like very TVfied.

I imagine gen alpha will reject social media (as is) similarly.

Not sure what, if anything, will replace it. 🤔 

 nostr just simply isn't TV

it's for communication between people, with no partial intermediaries

the history of big tech squashing real p2p communication of the internet is practically the history of the internet

google killed RSS and email, facebook, reddit and twitter killed forums, people need communication

the masses don't, they are dumb and retarded and don't matter because they have no agency 

 Web 1.0 didn''t feel TV-ish. Return to web 1.0:) 

 web 1.0 is before they scaled it to web 2.0 with "cloud" and OAUTH

remember the whole pitch of facebook's front page "always will be free" yeah.. of charge, not strings

that lured lots of stupid people in and pretty much killed 99% of forums 

 Brainrot slop 

 and normies seek social media in general for the same reason as tv, which is something i rail against about people on #nostr endlessly crying about #adoption

yes, because nostr is not like TV

there is no advertising budget being diverted to pay influencoors to make a show

for the most part, you gotta have something to sell here to get money out of nostr, there is no simply posting shit and making $600/week in advertising royalties

and people who like the fact that this place isn't a fucking television masquerading as a communication protocol are sticky, they aren't going back to watch the fake ads of fake people influencoors who are getting paid to be fake 

 Yes :110percent: 

Community relays for the sticky  >  Big Tech copycatting for adoption 

Quality  >  Quantity 

Conversation  >  Consumption
