Most people have some type of social media presence on one or all of these platforms (or at least on *LinkedIn, TikTok*, or *YouTube*). Many businesses once used or currently use these platforms as a part of their marketing efforts, and despite being billion-dollar companies, there are some serious concerns about the viability of these platforms going forward. In this week’s blog, we will discuss some of the problems people are having with these established social media platforms and how alternatives might just be the future of social media.
