Everything's about creating and consuming shit or just keeping up with whatever the fuck the people we already know is doin, i miss the days when you could find a random chatroom with 4 people and be friends with three of em through shared hobbies, i doubt there's any such thing anymore but if there is feel free to suggest .

Well to clarify what you are talking about is not social media. Chatrooms are not social media. Also not of that stuff went away. IRC is still a thng. You have Instant Messaging with stuff like signal or matrix. All these are communication platforms. Social media is about status or with a few producers (influencers) and a bunch of consumers(followers). The biggest lie told by social media companies was it was a reflection of reality where its more inline with reality TV. Edited in such a way to invoked an emotional response from the audience for profit.
