social

There are 2 internets. 

One is the place where you find funny, interesting, and useful content from the most creative people in the world

The other is where you interact with your friends and networks

Today, we shove both into the same apps and call it social media, but imo it’s clear that’s gonna change soon

Quick question 

Are you saying both sides of the internet can’t mix or co-exist?

I'm saying the best version of the Content internet app is not the best version of the Network internet app.

Every social company started out as a NIA, realized that CIAs were better for shoving ads into user eyeballs, and tried to morph their NIA into a CIA.

So now we're in a weird spot w a bunch of halfway apps.

I mean…

Do I think interpersonal relationships are a core part of a healthy life?

Yes. 

Do I think the shift to Content apps reduces the amount/depth of our relationships?

Also yes. 

Do I also think that most relationships I’ve had in my life were mostly filler?

Also also yes. 

Pros and cons 🤷‍♂️

Interesting point tho. 

But what do you think is the impact of this shift on the way we interact with each other online? 

Are we losing something valuable in the process of prioritizing ads and content or nah?
