Great news — social media is falling apart::I don't know where to post: there are too many social platforms, and the old giants are dying. The age of social media is splintering.

The business model has always been unsustainable and plain stupid, imo.

You could make a valid argument that that goes for the concept of capitalism as a whole as well.

True, but I think its more that the United State's version of capitalism lacks safeguards against corporations influencing government regulation, and that leads to unsustainability.

Although I suppose the same could be said about social media, except the corporation in control would have no incentive to curb their own control.
