In a really strange way I almost feel like I'm rooting for all of these large social content sites to implode. They really dropped the ball on creating positive communities, and they're exploited children and really looted the country with encouraging corruption and terrible human behavior.<p>It's gaslighting plain and simple, the problem is that many can't see it because each user on these platforms has a different perspective due to the walled algorithms. I'm not really worried about anyone stealing my secrets though, I only shitpost on most of them when I'm not promoting music under my artist alias, but geez, the damage to children and to people that really are struggling to find success is very apparent when you look thorough the feeds on these apps.<p>Even "NiFT" and "crupto" scams were pushed heavily by these platforms, further highlighting the outright usury, manipulation, and broken promises these platforms encourage. I don't really think that apps like these will ever do anything right or good moving forward after such a wild run of manipulation and excess. It's better for us all to light up the old bulletin boards and web sites and struggle to get ranked on Google. At least that way posts will be in chronological order once again, with hopefully far less ads.
