Hi friend 👋🏼 and welcome to this week’s edition of “the dump.”

So apparently, Gen Z is quiet-quitting social media 👀 They are not leaving the platform or deactivating their accounts, but as social media has become another ‘performance act’ for them, they are just tired of creating and choose to quietly scroll.

And that could have a lot to do with the TikTok fatigue we have all been feeling….

As usual, we have stories from our writers, a few links from around the web, and, of course, a lot of fun stuff to click on.

As always, we really appreciate you and your support.

Let’s go!
