    I mean if you pay attention most social media inundated with influencers and companies is basically:

    “Buy this, no buy this, buy this instead, spend your money here!” It even leeches into everyday conversations outside of social media.

    Pay attention to how often people talk about buying things and newly released products. Hell, I’ve caught myself contributing to it. It’s kind of gross when you realize how steeped in consumerism nearly everything has become.

        I don’t understand why someone would choose threads over mastadon, where they could have all the dunking with none of the enshittening.

          It’s still too complicated for the layperson to have to navigate. Anything beyond “I have one login at one site that everyone else has” is too much for most.

            My grandma put electrical tape over the blinking 12:00 on the vcr she still uses. She’s not ready for 2 factor authentication.

            It’s a mix between heard mentally (well, all my friends are on it) and FOMO (what are they saying about me over there?)
