Social media is increasingly anti-social
Only 7% of Instagram time & 17% of Facebook time is spent on content from friends or followed accounts. The rest is algorithmic video from strangers.
This is what happens when you condition algorithms on looking time rather than real social engagement. TikTok set the template; everyone copied it.
