Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

ah i guess that's in the process of changing. you can see this happening right now. more right-wing memes, more "look at this cool movie/toy/outfit... i found. it's really me, a normal human being just like you!"

Lol I would bet the majority of that crap is from just normal people.

[-] Mighty@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

yes. normal people getting paid to post that.

Seems extremely unlikely. There's very little reach on here compared to elsewhere. It's not easily quantifiable nor can it be easily verified. It's extremely easy to hack metrics. There's no business sense to pay someone for posts on the fediverse yet. Don't be paranoid and don't become conspiratorial.

Edit: added "yet" because those things could possibly change.
