Well, I’d like to add, that most people do not use social media -almost interchangeable with internet for most folks- to interact with strangers in a reddit/discord/forum fashion… they just interact with people near them i.e. Instagram/facebook and so on.

Most people are in both of one of those and they are not going anywhere and not losing users, specially instagram.

Then you have things like twitter and tiktok, which are nor going anywhere anytime soon, yes lota of people went away from twitter, but those who stayed stayed for a reason (nazis and the hard right mostly)

So in summary, the internet, imho, at least for now, is staying right where it is.

Maybe reddit will fall, since the userbase was always more techy/quirky but they still seem to be doing fine, if your are ok with bots chatting with bots.

People stop buying things because they’ve detached from social media

What do you mean by that? Social media is quite popular.

Do you speak english?

A bit

How much is a bit?

You see, I wouldn’t go as far as to say that I have internalized the complex syntactic fabrics of the english languaje but I can make myself understood and even, under good conditions take syntactic liberties to stress my points, furthermore, although my vocabulary is not as extensive as my heart deasires, I have been making great strives to make it richer and fuller.

Dude…

Was denn?

Sounds like Berlin! Bit yes, most people in Berlin will speak english with you, even sometimes when you speak german.

My experience in Germany is quite the oposit, they don’t wanna talk in english and will entretain your broken german unless they literally can’t unterstand you.

Even in the street I am approached in german and “I do not look german” at all.

There is no “indian” languaje, there is a myriad of languajes spoken in india, what you might be refering to is hindi, which is very wildly spoken.

I have two indian friends that speak english with each other cause their native languajes are so different that they do no understand each other and one of then do no speak hindi.
