Social media will not exist in the future. At it's essence "social media" is a data harvesting platform that takes your personal data and sells it to advertisers make money. Although it's going to take longer than we'd like, governments will soon institute robust data protections for users. When that happens social media will no longer be profitable. Remember, social media in 2023 has NOTHING to do with sharing pictures, videos, stories. It's 100% about mining you for your personal data and selling that data, without your explicit permission, for profit. That's ALL it is. Social Media's picture, videos and stories are nothing more than the medium through which your ad preferences are refined.
