It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore::Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

Translation: more and more people overcome their social media addiction and adapt a healthy usage pattern.

That's not really what the article says though. Sounds like people are just doomscrolling curated content instead of creating content themselves.

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Doomscrolling curated content is a healthy usage pattern. Right? Right?!?

[–] vacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I''m doomscrolling this thread personally

[–] someacnt@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Oh that's me

[–] eee@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That also means less interesting content in general, which leads to a decrease in doomscrollers

I dunno. According to the article, "While sharing has tailed off, consuming content hasn't slowed". I didn't read the link that sentence hyperlinked to since it was behind a paywall.
