Creators and businesses will stay where the audience is. That keeps big platforms alive even when users complain. Unless a new app solves discovery, monetization, and trust all at once, people will grumble but keep using the old ones. Leaving is easy; rebuilding your network is hard.
Will people keep leaving big social platforms, or do we always come back?

Answers & Discussion
I think public posting will keep declining for normal people. They may keep accounts, but more life updates move to group chats, private stories, and smaller communities. The platforms will still be huge, but personal sharing will feel less public than it used to.
Most people do not fully leave. They rotate. They get tired of one app, spend more time somewhere else, then come back when a friend sends a link or a creator posts there. The big platforms are hard to quit because your social graph is there, even if the experience feels worse.
