Other people aren't going to RedNote for political reasons. I'm not going to RedNote because I was never into TikTok.
I'm barely into YouTube, and I have no desire to jump back into short form algorithm driven stuff after a decade away from that noise. Deleting most socials as teen was the correct move. I only missed out on connecting with people I already knew.
Feeds are the bane of my existence. I don't even look at my Lemmy feed. Instead, I check on individual communities and sort by new. Communities being smaller is an advantage for me.
Yeah, I can't stand feeds and short form videos either, it feels like I am dumber after watching just a little bit of them.
I do watch a lot of YouTube though, there are really great creators in lots of niche communities, there is also a lot of slop and crap, but it can be avoided, at least for now, although Google is slowly driving me up the wall with some of their stupid decisions that make no sense, even they aren't benefiting from them.
Google drives me up a wall with their search engine the most. AI bs to hide the fact that SEO and paid promotions make it hard to find anything anymore 😒
