I hear people complain about TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and Reddit, but everyone still seems to use them. Are people actually leaving or just complaining?

As long as creators, news, businesses, and communities use the big platforms, people will keep checking them. Complaining is not the same as leaving. I think the real shift is that people are more aware of how addictive the apps are, even if they have not figured out how to quit.

Public posting feels less fun than it used to. My friends share more in group chats now than on feeds. The big apps still exist in the background, but personal life has moved to smaller spaces. That feels healthier to me.

I deleted TikTok and Instagram for a month and felt noticeably calmer. But I eventually came back to Instagram because friends, events, and small businesses are still there. I think people are not leaving completely; they are trying to reduce the damage.
