    Social Media Is Bigger Than Ever. So Why Does It Feel Less Social?

    Send us Fan Mail Topic 1: Are We Automating the “Social” Out of Social Media? AI and automation are making it easier than ever for brands to manage social media at scale. But just because we can automate something doesn't mean we should. We talk about the difference between using automation to make social media management more efficient and using it to replace actual human interaction. Automated FAQs? Makes sense. Automated responses pretending to be genuine engagement? That's where things get murky. As comments become harder for brands to earn, we argue that the people who actually take the time to engage deserve a real response. Article reference: https://savedgemarketing.com/social-media-is-becoming-less-social/ Our take: Automate the repetitive stuff. Don't automate the relationship. Topic 2: YouTube Views Are Up. Engagement Is Down. What Does That Actually Mean? New YouTube data paints an interesting picture: long-form videos are getting significantly more views, while engagement and watch behavior are shifting. At first glance, that sounds like bad news. But is it? We dig into how people actually use YouTube today, from jumping through chapters and searching for specific answers to discovering creators through Shorts before moving into long-form content. Maybe declining retention doesn't always mean people aren't interested. Maybe we're simply getting better at finding exactly what we came for. We also get into the increasingly strange economics of our attention spans, including why we'll happily watch a 30-minute YouTube video but somehow an eight-minute TikTok feels like a feature-length film. Article reference: https://www.socialmediatoday.com/press-release/20260727-metricools-2026-youtube-study-reveals-a-slow-burn-effect-more-views-less/ Our take: Stop looking at Shorts and long-form as competing formats. Shorts can drive discovery. Long-form builds depth. And the way we measure whether either one is “working” needs to evolve with how people actually consume content.
