Well Elon here I have the worlds first automated happiness supplier and for the low low price of $1 billion dollars I can have it on your doorstep tomorrow morning
*warning: products resemblance to a burning bag of dog shit is purely coincidental
But what’s the cost of them being forced to use these online spaces to connect? Is it greater or less than the cost of not using them at all? Seems to me the balance is going farther and farther to the side of using them being worse than not every day. Body shaming, predators, addiction. We didn’t let kids smoke because it increased their social circle did we?
Hopefully the next generation of girls and boys growing up just never starts using these shit platforms and they all collapse under their own bullshit in the next few years. Social media is absolutely not necessary and is actively detrimental to good health.
Great comment and 100% agree this is bad news for society, tho personally I have not engaged with ads or even noticed ads for over a decade. It’s been untrustworthy noise for a long time for me
As a percentage of available knowledge, the proportion of bullshit has certainly outstripped truth
