Lemmy us pretty much all is use right now. I don’t know anyone espousing a. I.
It ain’t a social media bubble.
If people dont like ai, why do all of my coworkers and family members constantly reference ai?
Seriously, yall mfs here on lemmy have the strangest social media bubbles.

Brother in christ you literally described a bubble.
thedruid@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Not really. It’s easy to stay informed without social media.
Seriously you DON’T need it. Thatsjust conditioning. Take it from an old guy who’s seen that play book.
Get ta while you’re young and you’ll defend em till the end.
Its the same technique sports teams and terrorists use

Without social media, we wouldn’t have real on the ground reporting, and we wouldn’t have the most documented “live streamed” genocide.
This is what you missed by being in your old man bubble: tiktokgenocide.com
Not that you care, you called me a bigot for saying America funds genocides.

Only one source of social media? That kinda sounds like the definition of a social media bubble…
I oughta know, I’m also in the Lemmy only bubble and am completely out of touch with most people.

Lol. Let me explain.
For over 20 years I worked as a developer and an SEO
I was later off two years ago. Stillout if work except for a contract here and there.
In that time I have reduced my social media consumption. I find my head us ckearer, my days a bit brighter and problems either don’t occur as iften are more easily dealt with on a clear manner
I honestly have come to the conclusion that social media us now directly causing mist problems we have, or at least exacerbates them.
So intentionally limit myself to thus, I guess YouTube( though I only use it to post videos for the business I’m trying to get off the ground
Otherwise, life’s easier without it

Yeah, I think quite a lot of people on Lemmy have similar social media habits (or lack of) to some degree. We also tend to associate with other people like us. Especially people in tech tend to talk to other tech people, or friends and family of tech people which is a limited demographic.
It’s a very different perspective to most people. The average person on the train has vastly different media consumption and likely very different opinions.
There are a lot of people who consult AI in most aspects of their lives.

Do any of them like it enough to pay for it? The figures say no.
I use it daily but I won’t subscribe. It’s like news. Why pay when you can get it for free. (I do subscribe to news outlets, though, but like ai subscriptions, I know I’m in the minority).
There is a specialised ai tool that is useful at my work. It’s got a free tier which does most of the functions and the next tier up is crazy expensive on a per user basis for the amount of time it saves. If there was a reasonable subscription, perhaps I’d subscribe but I assume that a reasonable subscription doesn’t cover costs, so they’d rather a free user to pump their numbers than lose a subscriber. That yells me it will enshottify over time or they hope that the cost will drop. The problem is that if the cost to host drops a lot, people will self host instead. It’s a rock and a hard place, without a sustainable business model.
