There is nothing social about an app which auto-generates videos designed to keep you scrolling.

We are already struggling with with apps designed to steal our attention (TikTok, YouTube Reels).

I don't mean to sound like a doomer, but this can't end well.

"Late stage enshittification."

We're already at a point where more often than not people want to quit using online apps. I wonder if at some point we'll end up with the internet being completely abandoned because we did nothing to keep it usable?

Similar scenario to what might likely happen to our planet, now that I think of it.
