It's hard to use the internet these days without at least marginally supporting the big cloud platforms that are tied to these social media, advertising and shopping services. However it's still likely that X, IG/FB etc. can fail as their products slide further into the muck Rollie describes. Those of us having trouble letting go of follower counts, low-quality entertainment, cheap stuff, pseudo-socializing or whatever brings us into these services should find connection and convenience elsewhere.
Totally! I think it’s time to stop propping up these apps that don’t serve us anymore and don’t care to improve our user experience. It’s unfortunate that Twitter was by far my strongest platform re. follower count but we’ve gotta realize these apps are here today, gone tomorrow.
It’s nice to have the newsletter format because I can connect with people directly. The conversation here has been pretty civilized over the years when compared to the rest of the web too.
Brilliantly articulated. Thanks for sharing, as always... long live email.
