To me, "social media" is hardly accurate if your feed is made of people whose career is built around selling you something on that platform. That's marketing media or some other form of media. I wonder how many feeds outside of Nostr are actually social anymore. The social graph probably looks a lot different than when Facebook or MySpace started.

I actually don't know because I went #Nostr only quite a while ago and only barely used social media several years before that. I faded out because it felt more like antisocial media at some point.

Me too. I was pretty heavy FB user, in communities it was great at it's peak but around late 2019 I started to fall off, work was dragging me in and I decided to cut it off and FB just seemed like they were going out of their way to make the experience worse. Notifications stopped working, chrono threads were gone, peoples responses were ghosted, community posts started disappearing in favor of ads and they were changing the UI daily. It was too much so, as a business we started to pull back, it wasn't healthy for any of us.
