    👌👍 this will definitely happen 🙄

    You people will repost any propaganda that fits your objective.

    You all honestly believe social media and a large chunk of Internet traffic is just going to go away in 2 years? Jesus Christ this article is from a fucking link farm FFS.

      I kinda wonder where the down-votes are coming from? It seems unrealistic to assume half of all currently using people will stop using facebook, youtube, and snapchat within 2 years. As much as I’d like to assume otherwise I feel like that’s farfetched even with the study posted.

        We are all DigitalFrank on this blessed day.

        This reminds me of an interesting dynamic I’ve witness this holiday season.

        Now, to set the stage, most of my extended family and friends know well that I don’t do social media. I left Twitter way back when it was just becoming necessary to grapple with the idea of the blue check, and Trump was still just some reality TV guy with cartoon hair the last time I made a Facebook post. I never got Instagram, TikTok, or any of those 2nd run of social media apps.

        Everyone who knows me knows this about me. But this year when I talk about actually deleting my Facebook, people are aghast. No one is bothered that I haven’t posted there in a decade, but me actually deleting my account is something more akin to actual death to a lot of these people. I don’t get it.
