Pre-YOLLO Feed, Search & Suggested Posts
Broken social networking since 2000s
Social media promised to bring us closer. However, since the early 2000s, it's been quietly pulling us apart.
If you've spent any time on social media, you know how it goes. Feeds, search results, and suggested posts are a messy mix of old, outdated, and irrelevant content. Prom photos pop up during graduation month, Spring Break beach pics show up while you are back-to-school shopping. Your feed is full of updates that are hours, days, or even months old, all pretending to be current.
You scroll through posts hours, days, even months old, trying to feel connected. And still you are the last to know what is actually happening with the people who matter. We have all been there. These posts stay on your screen but are disconnected from real life. They look alive, but the meaning is gone.
Even search doesn't help. You try to find a new brunch spot or the next Taylor Swift concert, and all you get is an endless scroll of results from days, weeks, or even years ago. Nothing that matters right now.
It doesn't matter what you care about—the algorithm decides what you see. You don't get to pick what trends, what stays, or what disappears. A post is either up for a pre-fixed deadline or stays forever. And even then, your feed only shows things chronologically or by what's “most engaging.” Never what's actually happening now with your friends. Real life doesn't work like that, and neither do real friendships.
Other apps trap you in a loop - old, irrelevant posts, missed moments, and endless scrolling. You're never really in sync with your friends, and always catching up. Important moments pass, yours get ignored, and slowly that real connection fades. Slowly, that easy human connection starts to fade. Day by day, you feel a little more distant, a little more alone. And just when the loneliness hits, they throw AI friends at you, like that's what you were missing!
Imagine if real life worked like this: you only talked about what happened last week, and replied to friends days later. The connection would die, right? That's exactly what's happening online. No wonder people barely post anymore - what's the point if your friends don't see it when it matters, and you miss theirs too?
Friendships aren't built on the past - they're shaped by how we show up today. Real connections happens in the moment, not weeks or months later. And that's the real problem with social networks today - they're broken.
On every one of these apps, your past is your present, and your present never shows up in the moment.
It's not the 2000s anymore. It's the 2020s - and yet these so-called broken social networking apps are still stuck in the past. YOLLO fixes that for you!
