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.

it’s interesting how many comments show that people like to read the headline

I read articles about India landing on the moon, ancestors of humans nearly dying out, tech employees being dissatisfied in Austin, etc. I don't care about social media enough to read an article. That's probably a lot of people here.

Are those articles shown to you by Google News (the thing built into Android) by any chance? I've had those exact ones recommended to me in the past few days and it's a little unnerving seeing someone else mention reading them all lmao.

I do check Google News daily on the web from my computer. And I also read news stories posted to Lemmy. I also have a bunch of RSS feeds on my phone, but that's typically nerd computer stuff unless someone happens to comment on a news article on their blog.
