They discuss the evolution of social media platforms (Instagram hiding likes, TikTok's rise, Twitter's political usefulness) and predict backlash against social media's addictive, bullying-enabling design.
- 31% of kids want to be YouTubers, which makes sense given how much money is in it now.
- Social media is addictive and causes bullying, suicide, and cancel culture among young people.
- Instagram removing visible likes is an experiment, but Facebook started doing this and became a boomer haven.
- TikTok is the app where people dance and do crazy things in 15-second videos, a longer version of Vine.
- Twitter stuck around because Trump energized it and made it political, and he likes using it to share content.
