Although we are heading in the direction the article says. We are definitely not there yet. Instagram and Facebook have huge amounts of contents and users consuming mindlessly, my dad uses facebook to watch manufacturing videos of factories in china all day and my mother looks at recipes and wedding dresses on instagram. These lurkers are not going anywhere and they are majority of the users on these platforms, X being an exception.
Being on lemmy you might mistake yourself as there is a wave of social media downfall but if you truly look at big picture we are a small pond compared to huge lakes of users around the world with different age groups and interest.
We're not even a pond. We're like a stone well. Or maybe even just a bucket.
I don't even think we're heading in the direction of the article, we're just a small deviation from the main road, I just hope we're not riding a dead end road. But the biggest I can imagine for "us" is a situation like Linux in the early 2000s - and we're still far, I'd compare "us" more to openBSD
