Criticism of social media seems to be mostly about "the algorithm" and the replacement of things which were meaningful with things which are not. So seeing your friends gradually replaced by seeing ads and AI slop. Also loss of nuance and tweeness, replaced by outrage and bad faith performative stuff to make numbers go up. And excessive professionalization, such that your angsty and amateurish posts and photos of your cat don't come anywhere close to the extremely high media production quality which seems to become the expected norm. #internet
