Author @iamgingertrash (tweet linked via nitter) predicts the next social network…

Brief

The post argues the next social network will abandon attention-farming business models in favor of an "ambient discovery layer" driven by personal agents. These agents would crawl the web and assemble goal-aligned, engaging feeds—what the author calls "Personal X"—and they claim this shift will end existing social media companies (reference: "Nikita’s Dopamine Drip").

Key details

They propose a "Personal X" where a user's agent crawls the internet to build an engaging feed for them, arguing personal agents will replace current social media companies; referenced phrase: "Nikita’s Dopamine Drip."

The next social network won't look like current social networks.

Its business model will not be based on attention farming.

It will be an ambient discovery layer curated by an agent that knows your goals

I would rather have a Personal X,

where my own agent has crawled the internet, and built a feed of engaging content instead of sit here and scroll

Personal agents are going to end social media companies as you know it

They cannot see it yet
