FF 95: When Social Media Stopped Being Ours - The big tech shift

from Freedom Falls · host Nick Umbarger

Something shifted. Social media isn't what it once was. It's a trap engineered to keep you scrolling, performing for others, chasing empty numbers. But if you're someone who loves creating, documenting, sharing your work, how do you walk away? In this episode we discuss that paradox. I talk about the platforms that transformed from a creative outlet to an exploitive machine and whether platforms can ever serve users again. It's about recognizing when the game is rigged and deciding if you're still willing to play. Enjoy the episode.
