The youth exodus from #TikTok is already underway. Gen Z is abandoning it in droves, leaving their parents (Millennials) the largest demographic remaining.
As usual, children seek to hang out in places their parent's generation are not. TikTok lost that a while ago.
@bignose this has reminded me why I've spent the past 30 years keeping social anything to a minimum. Switching costs is as old as the commercial 1995-era internet, but it's still a very big deal.
For me, the only winning move is frequently to not play. I just wish that strategy worked for more people, and I'll admit it will NOT work for most.
And it frees up time and energy, to put into #FreeSoftware systems like the #Fediverse. Not everyone needs to do it, but the more people who do, the more options expand for everyone.
More effort before a payoff, sure. But far less wasted effort when yet another platform submits to #enshittification.
