    Facebook.
    Instagram.
    Youtube.

    All being pumped full of 1080x1920 TikTok style junk. Which feels like:

    mixed with strictly come dancing, some random cooking show and some odd chinese factory worker that is super efficient at making some plastic thing on the factory conveyor belt.

    Obviously they are trying to get kids back onto their platforms after the popularity of TikTok... but are they gearing it up, over junking your social media feed to then introduce a subscription fee to remove it? Youtube already has that... at this stage I would actually pay to have instragram ala 2017, when it was simply a feed of illustration & design from artists that I followed, and not endless junk.

    • I've been thinking recently that social media looks like 'You've been Framed'.. but that was based on my memory of that show from the 1990sshapesalad
    • Just watching that episode now..fuck.. social media is exactly like you've been framed! Cute dog, funny kid, car accident, some mishap etc..shapesalad
    • TikTok = You've been framed. Utter junk.shapesalad
    • At least in the 1990s it was a 30min episode once a week, not a endless 24/7 experience.shapesalad
    • Channel 4's The Word also springs to mind and especially this legendary segment ... https://www.youtube.…Bluejam
