Ok this will make me sound 8,000 years old, but what social network are the kids these days using? TikTok exists, but that isn't really a personal blogging site like Facebook, Myspace, Instagram, etc. What is the equivalent for Facebook for present day high school and college students? Is everyone just on discord?
I don't think that people do that very much any more, since the medium has changed.
People don't really do things like make blog posts as much as they used to.
I think large group chats. Benefits of larger audience posting without being completely public-facing.
Nobody does personal blogging. Well, except a few specific primates doing so on Xitter. And I've also seen some people with at least half a brain getting a domain and writing blogs there in hopes someone clicks on their link.
You're reading blog to literally. Think how people traditionally use Facebook/Myspace, posting regular updates, photos from their life, etc, intended primarily for friends and family to see. What's the equivalent of that for kids today?
None. It is no longer "cool" to post your entire life onto the internet. Source: I am a kid.
