Have you noticed people seem to have disengaged from a lot of sites (Rumble, Telegram and so on evident by view counts, ratings, likes, etc?

I've noticed this over the past 3-6 months. Viewership seems to be down tremendously. I think many are becoming tired and ready to move on with their lives. Jesus take the wheel.
Well, I stopped using Telegram because there's too much junk there to sift through and too many fake profiles. Not just that but the app crashes both my phone and computer too often. And don't discount the Elon-Twitter phenomenon as a reason since a lot of people ONLY went to alternate platforms because of the extreme sensorship, primarily on Twitter but also FB, Youtube, etc... There's still a heavy tilt but it's not like it was and most people don't have the time or bandwidth to be everywhere and digest everything. It's too much. So a lot of people went back to Twitter.
Telegram is user unfriendly. It takes up a lot of space for the app too. Overloaded my note and was unusable.
From my brief time with Telegram, I think I noted that it didn't compress or delete data that had been seen before / hasn't been called yet.
e.g. a well designed app would delete data from storage if it hasn't been called for, say, a week or two..say, a thousand lines up where you'd have to scroll for a while before seeing it, calling it, and downloading the content.
I noted my Telegram was getting heavier even though I'd only used it once or twice, and ultimately uninstalled it since I just don't like the format.
I agree about Twitter.
Now, with Elon Musk many have gone there and have abandoned some of the alternative places they would visit and many more are probably visiting TruthSocial more these days.
