 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 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
