Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing, Could it be as a result of digitalization and things moving online or more people now starting business online because of need to somehow generate income or another source of income for self to survive the economic situations which is becoming tougher?
And as a confirmation of your words, I saw this article today:

Social networks have long ceased to be just a means of communication.
The fact is that a lot of unique content is being made there. And nowadays no one wants to make content for free, everyone wants it to be paid for.
Instagram has long introduced product categories, business profiles, and the like.
Even I recently bought a painting there! Although I have never been actively involved in promotion.
Now it will be possible to earn money on Twitter. Perhaps Elon Musk will do there that we will earn cryptocurrency (you understand which one)
Social media is also a waste of money. One waste so much time over it.
I was a social media manager but now I am so fed up all the rush on the social media. I started working on social media in 2011 but now its so much rush and chaos
