I think we're past the social media era. I remember using facebook to connect with highschool friends and keep up with them when I was in college. We used to play barn buddy together, update status and used to chat for ages on fb chat. But everything got ruined when fb allowed re-posting and pages which allowed non-personal and unauthentic repetitive stuff to be on top of the feed instead of the updates from my friends, and then came the influencers.

Further, nowadays nobody wants to update the status or share their personal lives on the internet because it's cringy and also again we don't want to go back to the phase where we start to compare our lives with a carefully curated set of photos from other people's profiles because as the age old saying goes comparison is the theft of joy.
