It just feels like old web has died, only things left are Youtube, Amazon, here, X,and… I guess thats it. Its boring to be online now it feels like. Facebook, Insta, snap, reddit, google search, netflix, hbo they all feel like they’re dying sometimes a heartbeat comes from the, here and then, but you know there’s no hope for them long term.


The new medium starts out imitating the old medium, and the old web was still part of the old literary age. That age is behind us. Now we march to the beat of the tribal drums.


My theory is that smartphones pushed people into only consuming since it's annoying to write long texts on a phone.

So you are only left with egomaniacs, spam, and old people on PC.


Definitely something to this. I think that’s why so many social media platforms are entirely image/video based because that’s easier on the phone.
