After two decades of sharing more online, it looks like we’ve decided to share less. New polling shows that nearly a third of all social media users post less than they did a year ago. That trend is especially true for adults in Gen Z.

When Facebook centered the algorithm over friend updates, I stopped posting updates for my friends.
They decided eyeballs were worth more than connecting friends. Fair enough, I’ll just leave.
I’d also say the “share” function was up there. I wanted to see real posts by my real friends that took real thought to post. Not shit shared at the click of a button.
Yeah, that was it. You could only post so many interesting updates, but a handful of people could “like” stuff all night long.
