Fewer people maybe, but it seems like more bots, at least on X. That may accelerate the problem.
How many people actually have something to say? That's the real problem.
Most posts on social media (by people who are not advertising something or pushing some agenda) are just chatting with their circle of friends. And that's OK. That's what it SHOULD be. That's the whole point of "social media". But there's no profit in that.
Shitposting that is sensational, inflammatory and controversial draws more viewers, which allows the social media companies to say to advertisers "LOOK AT OUR NUMBERZ!! PAY US MORE MONIEZ!!" and the actual usefulness of social media is slowly destroyed.
All of this social media bullshit can't go away soon enough, as far as I'm concerned, but they aren't going away any time soon. They've got a lot of money invested and there is still lots of money to be made from people who are vain and stupid. They will keep throwing shit against the wall until none of it sticks. Eventually, Twitter/Facebook/etc. will just be bots trolling each other. Which will actually be sort of fun to watch, for a while.

BUT THIS TIME WE REALLY MEAN IT!! WE PROMISE!!

What the fucking fuck? If a government agency has some information that they want to get out to people why wouldn't they just post it to their official Facebook account, which can be seen by anyone and is
Why are government agencies paying to "advertise" on Facebook and what the fuck are they advertising?
The tool works by subtly altering an image's pixels in a way that wreaks havoc to computer vision but leaves the image unaltered to a human's eyes
That sounds suspiciously like marketing bullshit.
Also they're missing a golden opportunity to poison the AI so that it draws dicks on everything.

Why didn't my ad blocker block this post? Strange.
Or the "Disable advertising" checkbox. Which I've noticed stays checked for a little while then unchecks itself.
Cmdr. Taco really needs the 11 cents he makes from ads here.
The "jokes" are terrible and not funny at all.
The "jokes" by the "comedians" are stupid, pointless and add nothing to the discussion.
In Soviet 'Murica TV watches you.
Many years ago, long before "smart" TVs existed, I knew people who believed that "the government" was watching them through their television.
