#2My main question is: Where are people going? It seems like there is a slight dip in usage across all social media, but I'm trying to figure out where those hours/days/weeks are being spent. Are people turning to more real-life activities, just broadcasting and communicating less, turning to other up and coming platforms, or relying more on private messaging?

Perhaps they're turning to group chats and imessages? Any meaningful use of instagram, snap, or similar platform introduces ads into your "friend news stream", whereas simplicity of whatsapp or similar platform avoids them, while preserving fluidity of communication.

#7We might be at a local maximum, but we're nowhere near the peak. What we're seeing is an end of the race to the bottom.
What's happened is that most of the major social networks only hire and promote people who make decisions primarily based on analytics. As a result these sites no longer have any real communities or organic content, and have been completely hollowed out by math-friendly refrigerator magnet junkfood. Even though everyone can recognize that most users no longer find these experiences to be compelling, they're all stuck in a one-way spiral.
Web 3 is just getting started though, and with new technologies are going to come novel and compelling forms of social interaction.

#8Seems like just a Snap peak to me. Article doesn't mention Instagram, its most direct competitor, or tons of other non-Facebook/Twitter social networks that are gaining popularity (Reddit, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitch, even WhatsApp, and many country-specific ones).
