The Shift in Content Engagement

The changes in engagement strategies on social media platforms are highlighted, particularly focusing on Twitter's evolution under new ownership. Users have noticed a significant shift from a more curated, chronological feed to an algorithm-driven model similar to TikTok, resulting in less meaningful content. For instance, individuals now report increased exposure to sensationalist videos, such as fights or accidents, which provide immediate dopamine hits but lack substantive value. This contrast raises important questions about what constitutes genuine user engagement versus mere passive consumption of content.
