Well, if someone can't bother to write something, why should anyone bother to read it?

that was one of the big reasons I dropped FB and Insta.

Low effort interactions just aren't worth it. IF it's not worth writing at least 3 sentences chances are I don't care - and won't ever care.

Like yeah it's cool to see what some guy I knew in high school is up to, but ultimately that connection ain't making my life better.

HN is an exception in the signal to noise ratio is far higher than a lot of other social media - though the bots are hitting it hard these days.
