Have you noticed that you’re just overposting on social media? Gen Z has – they’ve started stepping away from social media. Here are some of the reasons why:
- Mental Health. Constantly seeing picture-perfect lives has a negative impact on mental health… and adds a ton of pressure to live that way.
- The pandemic. People stopped posting during the pandemic, because what was there to post about? People weren’t going out, there were so many restrictions, and so on.
- Posting can unfortunately put your personal safety at a risk. Stalking has become common, especially when locations are easily recognizable.
- People face a lack of engagement due to how hard it is to reach people organically. Plus, social media feeds are now clogged by ads.
- Make memories for yourself. People are sending pics directly to their family or just for themselves rather than posting. The monetization of social media has taken the fun out of posting.
