Reacting to a new anonymous-group app called Apex, Shaan predicts a broad retreat from public social media to private, curated groups — people leaving the town square for their favorite pub and closing the door.

“So I like this. I think this is the way the world is going, which is a retreat away from social media to private media. I think people are leaving the town square and they're going to their favorite pub, and they're going to close the door, and they're going to basically— people are going to hang out in private groups more and more and more. It's already happening.”
