My 2c: it’s the beginning of the end for some tech areas. Especially social networks.

You chat with people online because you think, you know, that people exist on the other side.

You spend time on instagram, tiktok, and so, to get a glimpse of real people (as opposed to TV where a lot is fiction/sfx).

You trust photos because, barring dedicated, time-consuming and skill-intensive editing, they should represent reality.

If that’s not true anymore, and everything is fiction, it’s probably time to get back to IRL experiences.

Social media has been a blessing for me to be honest, I'm going to hell for saying this, because I'm going against the grain, maybe you meet people in real life that are amazing, but I don't. I see a lot of skilled people, funny and cool people on social media, I get things from social media, that I can't get in real life.

Same goes for the website called news.ycombinator, it's very difficult to find these kind of people in real life. If I didn't know this website, things would have gone differently.
