"Want to escape? Avoid Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat. Avoid venues and media built around group signaling and conspicuous consumption."

There won't be any escape, just a move toward smaller more focused online groups each with their own mores. The future looks more like a world of Slacks than a Facebook.

It's fascinating that this is happening in both social media and the world (Brexit and the fragmentation of Europe) at the same time.

So, more what the Internet looked like before 2007 or so. I was there for that, and won't say it was without its drawbacks - but it is starting to look as though the drawbacks of the current fashion outweigh them.

Indeed it is. Perhaps there's a larger lesson to be drawn.
