What will make people switch anyway?
They don't care much about security (evident by the recent twitter hack). They don't care much about privacy. They don't care much about functionality.
Increasingly, I don't think people even care about the content or relationship/social aspect of the social media. My dad has like maximum number of friends on Facebook and I really doubt he actually engages with them. His feed is full of bullshit that he sometimes tell me about and is even self aware of a lot.
Why do you use facebook despite that?
He doesn't have an answer. I fear he is just addicted to scrolling when he has nothing to do.
He is also using Facebook and whatsapp because of peer pressure.
A weird phenomenon in india is how easily bullshit spreads on whatsapp. The reason is most people forward without even consuming the content. It's almost like they are getting rewarded for a completely different thing than the intended or well communicative purpose of the medium.
