I don't understand what social media has to offer me anymore.

That's probably because you don't have any deplorable personality traits which can only be validated by other assholes on the Internet.

It's a race for external validation and bragging and painting a false image of your life, and for you to keep in touch with anyone you ever met that you never will keep in touch with. If you take a few steps back you see how truly useless it is, unless, of course, you're meta or Microsoft or whoever is just siphoning all your valuable data and selling you shit that you don't need by manipulating you.

social media had nothing to offer except attention and undeserved validation.

Even more so when some of my friends are already using AI to fake some of their shares. Good thing I have good friends who clearly didn’t spend their last vacation having dumplings with Jinping or Poutine with Putin. But there is a blurred line there where I’m not sure my colleague who didn’t take a vacation in the last six months at work went cave diving. I’m waiting for those reports, Brian!!
