@MatejIvanetic Decline is real

[Matej Ivanetič @MatejIvanetic]

For the first time, most people on social media don't post.

Ofcom asked 7,533 UK adults. The share of those who post or comment fell to 49%.

A year earlier it was 61%.

That is a fifth of everyone who was posting, gone quiet in twelve months.

@MatejIvanetic Great read

[Pacer @Pacerqnt]

@MatejIvanetic Interesting to see

@MatejIvanetic True

Everyone will argue about the pause. The load-bearing sentence is in the evaluator section.

Anthropic can't redact a finding for being unfavorable, and reviewers can say publicly when a redaction changed their conclusion.

A company giving up narrative control on purpose.

I counted the top 25 free apps on the US #AppStore this morning.

Four of them are #AI assistants. One is a messaging app. Not one of them exists to help you see the people you actually know.

Trivia nights are up 403%.

Not attendance. The number of trivia nights being hosted. Eventbrite compared the first half of 2026 with the first half of 2025, and the most boring in-person hangout on earth is having a moment nobody is talking about.

Demand for being in a room together never fell. What fell was the number of easy excuses to be there.

Every category on that list is someone inventing a new excuse. That is the whole business.

[Matej Ivanetič @MatejIvanetic]

Software keeps getting better at doing things for us, and people keep wanting to be in a room together. Both curves are going up.

@MatejIvanetic Addiction is real

[Matej Ivanetič @MatejIvanetic]

Americans now spend 35 minutes a day socializing. TV gets 2 hours 36.

The 2025 US time-use data is out, and the friend deficit is measurable.

"We think humans need humans now more than ever."

Do I think AI is bad? No, I use it every day for everything, but one thing it won't replace is human connection (at least not in a short time frame).

I have been building this narrative for almost 2 years now, and it's finally happening.
