Strava and Find My Friends. Those are the only two forms of social media he’s bothered about — and increasingly, I reckon he’s onto something.
Say what you like about privacy and PB point-scoring, but there’s something intimate and genuine about these forms of social media, both of which seem to have surprised even their creators for standing the test of time in this strange old age of filters and fake news. Find My Friends is reportedly booming amongst Gen Z, who consider it the truest form of friendship, and Strava has joined the ranks of TikTok and Spotify in hitting the 100 million user mark.
