How much of this is that we’re getting older? I find that outside thoughtfluencing and reputation building, I’ve simply become tired of sharing. Just kinda don’t care anymore.
Part of it is that there’s less and less novelty. What was new and exciting 5 years ago is mundane and boring now. Done it a million times. What felt like a huge insight, became a normal part of my worldview. Etc
To top it off I realized I simply don’t care as much about keeping in touch with people who aren’t actually part of my life.
Ultimately my time is limited and I can publish to build leads/branding or to drive vanity metrics like a monkey acting out in a cage. One of those is a good use of time.

Mine is slowly filling up with baby pictures now and weddings now after what i think was a lull. Younger people seem to be going strong on sharing stupid things on snap chat and tiktok.
- SulfurHexaFluri 6y agoI'm under 25 and I can say that I don't think people are publishing much publicly outside of the political nutcases. Everything is inside private IM groups / discord voice chats these days.
- XorNot 6y agoFacebook lost its interest pretty rapidly once I was out of University, concurrent with it rapidly morphing into brand building exercises for those in high school year who went into advertising.
