I feel like I could write a blog post about the issues with this Vice article if I were so inclined, but my biggest problem is that it selectively casts social media as trending towards "YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, and an endless number of streaming platforms" because apparently YouTube is a brand new site, Twitch is doing well rather than being in decline, and Discord, being an ad-free chatroom service, obviously doesn't even exist. Also for an article that says somewhat positive things about Mastodon/Fediverse, the author sure hasn't used it, because the only accounts I can find from them are two non-functional Twitter mirror bots.
