On the opposite end, I've never used Twitter before Musk's takeover. Now it's my #1 used social app. Incredibly funny, interesting and relevant tweets are on my timeline.
What surprised me was how QUICKLY tiktok died for me! It's so vanilla and boring these days, every second video is some ad of a chinese dude selling me some trinket. It's very strange. Instagram caught up with their reel tech, and instagram is just a wild west of content and comments, love it!

This is consumption-side growth, not production-side. A similar thing happened with Facebook when it went all-in on algorithmic feeds: engagement went up, but actual organic content production went down. Ultimately, whether or not you find that distinction interesting depends on how you use the Internet. But much of the demographic that found Twitter fun and useful before 2022 isn't interested in a reskinned Facebook or Instagram, which is what the current site is.

There is power law distribution in people's interestingness as well, basically in every aspect, whether it be creativity, expertise and so on. These are skills which very few people work on and very few pursue it.
