I have a hypothesis - media production [1] will gradually shift from social medial platforms to individualized (decentralized) platforms [2]. I think there are a lot of reasons for this trend: * People are becoming increasing distrustful of platforms and there owners. * The platform algos push a lot of noise and inflammatory content for engagement, something that users are getting fatigue from. * On the creator side, the professional producers of social media will find it increasingly difficult to monetize from their platforms. In fact, I think the platforms will eventually realize how much power they have over their popular creators and charge the creators in order to have full access to their audiences. * Additionally on the creator side, they can be banned at any moment with little or no recourse. Imagine being a professional creator on instagram, and one day you are banned for no reason. You lose total access to your following. So I think the attention will slowly shift away from the platforms, which increasingly just serve as a parasitic middle men, back to creators + their followers (newsletters, blogs, private chat, websites with owned domains, etc).
