Description

Social media has changed — and most users feel it. In this conversation, Shane Hewitt and Greg Fish unpack how platforms have shifted from fostering community to optimizing consumption. From endless algorithms to app fatigue, the discussion reveals how social media now serves the platforms more than the people. They explore why meaningful alternatives haven’t yet emerged and what would need to change to pull users away from the current cycle. If you’ve ever felt drained by your feed but kept scrolling anyway, this episode explains why — and what might be next.
