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.

Barely anyone else does though, thus the point.

That's the mantra that certain people would want others to believe.

Yes, this is a social media hit piece. MSM hates social media because it's a way for the public to circumvent their lies. The entire article is based on (likely fabricated) anecdotal evidence:

"It's really bizarre to me that everyone's gone to this place in their mind that content has to be so curated," Bruening told us. "So curated that you can't show what you're cooking for dinner, because that's not cool enough."

Everyone? Did they take a global survey? Do they see my instagram feed? This person just has shitty friends. Or they are lying.

A city and a village are both social structures. I prefer to live in a nice, small village rather than isolated in a horrible city, even if there is only a small number of people who communicate with me. I love this place. Facebook? Not really. Big media? Not at all.
