Yep, rather than focusing on how they are are different in providing value (connecting people) they are chasing attention and ad revenue. It’s sad because that type of person to person social connection is being relegated back to instant messengers which still function more or less like the ones from the 2000s.

The person to person interaction went back to messengers because most people don’t like the exposure of all their social interactions being laid bare for all to see.

I guess you haven’t been using Telegram. It introduces new useful features every year.
