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.

I've seen the birth of it in my lifetime, I'll see the death of it in my lifetime. Way to go, evolution!

I was in college and I still do not understand it. My friends were like dude there's girls on it and you can poke them. But there's girls out in the real world. Now it's the reverse where meeting people on the internet is more normal than meeting IRL.
