The way I see it is, for many things on the internet, the raw number of people using them has stayed steady or even gone up slightly, but there are so many more people who wouldn't have used the old internet online now, and much of the money and energy goes to catering to them, which means Facebook, Instagram, Reddit etc. The people who know what they're doing still use the old internet. We should be extending our arms to the people stuck on social media, who think that is the whole thing.
So many people struggle just to understand / use Facebook, that's where they stop - if it isn't on Facebook, or their other platform of choice, it's dead to them because they just won't take the time.
