It's not just you โ€” no one is posting on social media anymore::Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

That's not really what the article says though. Sounds like people are just doomscrolling curated content instead of creating content themselves.

Yeah. Doomscrolling curated content is a healthy usage pattern. Right? Right?!?

I''m doomscrolling this thread personally

That also means less interesting content in general, which leads to a decrease in doomscrollers

I dunno. According to the article, "While sharing has tailed off, consuming content hasn't slowed". I didn't read the link that sentence hyperlinked to since it was behind a paywall.
