I use a VPN and the adds content I'm sent are all from the middle east on Facebook. I still have a few friends that use it regularly but I struggle to find their content while filtering through all the spam. Most of the people I was connected with (actual life friends) use it as a political platform now. I switched to IG long ago, and mostly follow artist of all sorts I liked or found, travel type stuff and family. Then it started becoming an add scroll, with only the content of the most popular art and travel, lots of my non-politcal perhaps "edge content" (an art gallery a friend owns of small time alt artist primarily sculptures and painters was one example) got shut down for content. When it came back up it was never in my feed and neither were the artist aligned to it.
I never did Ticktock personally nor Twitter. Just not my flavor. At this point I scroll a little IG but they've mostly shifted to Theads now which are difficult to filter through.
Granted I'm get off my lawn age, but I work in tech and I'm nearly burned out on Social media. For the record I include LinkedIn as a part of that statement. It's become an influencer add space now too. Less about business and more about "inspiration" and "motivation". It's hard to find actual real discussion there too.
I tilt more and more towards done with it all with each new iteration as they seem to just get worse than before.
On the upside with Threads and all the other upgrades I don't get 15-20 follow requests from "single lonely women" per day in my in box on IG to follow me. Threads I have shit tons of those as I have yet to work through limiting followers by making it private and request only.
