The Death of the Status Update: Why 55% of Americans Stopped Posting on Social Media
Summary
PCMag covers a study (via Incogni) showing 55% of Americans have reduced posting on social media, driven by digital fatigue, cluttered feeds, and political content. The piece highlights data-broker issues and Incogni’s data-removal service, arguing that social platforms contribute to a large personal data footprint. It also notes that security concerns, harassment, and time-wasting motivate some to consider leaving social media, with Gen Z feeling the impact most strongly.
