the tinfoil take is that everyone in charge is fully aware of this eventual problem such that when it occurs, a solution will be presented: ubiquitous verifiable digital ID technology that's required to use popular social media services, such that everything that a Real Person posts will be signed with said digital ID, thus bringing about the end of online anonymity, and the death of the Internet as we presently know it.

idk, sounds plausible to me, the way things've been going.

Entirely possible, but the amount of people who moved to Mastodon after Twitter got lit on fire gives me hope that people might explore options if things go a step too far

Also think of how many people will sell their digital persona to sell AI generated spam for a little cash in return. Ain't nuthin safe from spam.

My Mastodon is a ghost town while my Twitter feed keeps having hundreds upon hundreds of posts per day.

Ah, I mostly go based on what I hear from friends. This, Reddit, and a regional moped Discord are the closest I get to social media
