<h2>Is Oldschool SocialMedia Dying?</h2>
<p>Is Oldschool SocialMedia dying? The bloom is certainly off the rose these days. Details in Is-OldSchool-SocialMedia-Dying?-Bob Davis Podcast 1141.</p>
<h2>Media Is Starting To Cover This Issue</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.wired.com/story/first-gen-social-media-users-have-nowhere-to-go/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Even more we&#8217;re starting to see media regarding this issue.</a></p>
<h2>User Experience</h2>
<p>Another key point is the user experience.</p>
<p><a href="https://tomjlewington.medium.com/why-social-media-sucks-and-what-we-should-do-about-it-af85bd6b362f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">It sucks as a matter of fact.</a></p>
<p>Notwithstanding the fact that Old School Social Media isn&#8217;t going away.</p>
<h2>Worthwhile Advertising Outlets?</h2>
<p><a href="https://ogalweb.com/why-you-shouldnt-rely-on-social-media-for-your-digital-marketing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Companies are beginning to question whether these aging platforms are worthwhile advertising outlets.</a></p>
<h2>Testing Advertising</h2>
<p>Accordingly I tell some stories about testing advertising on Facebook awhile back.</p>
<h2>Where Are The Major Corporations</h2>
<p><a href="https://blog.motivatedmarketing.com/7-reasons-big-brands-still-use-tv-advertising-despite-social-medias-popularity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Furthermore one wonders why major corporations aren&#8217;t usually heavily represented on these Old School platforms?</a></p>
<h2>Lower Engagement</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesagencycouncil/2023/04/27/are-the-days-of-organic-social-media-reach-over/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Concurrently there have been stories detailing lower and lower levels of engagement.</a></p>
<h2>Welcome To The Nursing Homes Of Social Media</h2>
<p>Firstly what is happening is younger demographics are moving to messaging apps, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube.</p>
<p>Of course that leaves older and older people using the Old School platforms.</p>
<h2>What&#8217;s The Utility Of LinkedIn?</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.michigandaily.com/opinion/linkedin-is-the-worst-form-of-social-media-heres-why/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In addition to Facebook one wonders what is up with Linkedin.</a></p>
<p>Along these lines I include a drop from a recent rant from a content creator about the jobs and so called business platform.</p>
<p>Users are wondering what the utility for Linked In is in the same fashion.</p>
<h2>Small Business</h2>
<p>Another key point is the fact the small businesses often use these platforms to advertise their services.</p>
<h2>Do You Want To Be Associated With A Bad User Experience</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.sociallybuzz.com/12-negative-impacts-of-social-media-on-small-businesses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">For these businesses a point often overlooked is what happens when your business is associated with the kind of bad user experience found on Old School Social Media these days.</a></p>
<p>For example trolls, bots and spam.</p>
<p>Not to mention negative comments.</p>
<h2>The Little Guy Uses These Platforms</h2>
<p>Finally from time to time I talk about these kinds of issues.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYwyuWRomKc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The reason being many of my nomad friends and myself use these platforms to get the word out about our blogs, podcasts and videos.</a></p>
<h2>Newer And Different Platforms</h2>
<p>With this purpose in mind another key reason to consider newer and different platforms are the algorithms.</p>
<h2>Help Me Find An Audience</h2>
<p>In other words newer platforms help you find an audience.</p>
<p>However older platforms seem to think your content is enough to generate viewers and followers.</p>
<p>How Do Small Businesses Actually Generate Business?</p>
<p>In this situation I spend a little time discussing how a small business actually generates clients and referrals.</p>
<h2>Socially Corrosive</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahoh/2023/09/01/the-most-engaging-social-media-content-is-the-worst-for-you/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In conclusion I feel these old school platforms in particular are socially corrosive.</a></p>
<h2>Bad For Artists and Creators</h2>
<p>For example I question whether these platforms are best for content creators and artists for obvious reasons.</p>
<h2>What&#8217;s Next?</h2>
<p>All things considered I don&#8217;t know enough about software engineering to understand what is next&#8230;</p>
<p>But I would not mourn the loss of Facebook and Linked in&#8230;</p>
<p>And I gave up on Twitter/X a long time ago.</p>
<h2>Why Be Associated With A Bad Experience</h2>
<p>To summarize with the user experience on these platforms flat lining I don&#8217;t understand why businesses would want to be associated with them.</p>
<p>Businesses Questioning Old School Social Media Platforms</p>
<p>I believe all of the sudden we will see businesses starting to question whether their referrals are actually real people&#8230;</p>
<p>Or if they&#8217;re getting any referrals at all.</p>
