Interesting to look back at how it was all about people connecting with other people, but eventually shifted to people consuming content from faceless commercial communities and celebrities. As did all other mainstream social media. I'm making #Smithereen to address this exact issue — give people a cozy place to connect with each other.

Fun fact: the "old" newsfeed in VK still lives on after all these years in the "updates" tab and in the API, but no one's using it any more.
