Yeah the fact that most of these people could end all of this by not using it, but they still do is infuriating to me.
It infuriates me because I do it. I dont use that shyt. And im a pretty social guy who gets laid quite a but, so I know its not necessary, or "for the cool kids". So what is going on with you other humans?
Addiction.
It's the same reason someone with a bad liver still drinks. The same reason someone with asthma still smokes. The same reason a broke man will spend 200 from a loan at a strip club. It's addiction.
The goal is to create a platform you stay on and give your time and money to. They then sell data about your browsing habit to advertisers.
Their goal is to have advertisements everywhere pressuring you to do something you otherwise might not do. They want ads in your car, ads in your home, ads in your bathroom, literally everywhere compelling you to buy something subscribe to something or vote for someone.
And like the typical fascist they speak in double meaning. They talk about how oppressive the government they bought and paid for is, while telling you that they're escaping the matrix which they're actively building. It's theater. They don't believe any of it, they just say shyt that seems to be broadly popular while proceeding to do everything they claim they aren't doing.
They want you to believe they care about children while they support politicians that won't do anything about school shootings or rape in religious institutions. They want you to believe they care about the working class while they try to get rid of school lunch programs and first time home buyers benefits. They want you to believe they care about fighting "authoritarianism" while they have surveillance on their employees and fire anyone that deploys counter arguments they're too stupid to understand, let alone refute. It's fake, it's bullshyt but that's what is at the core of sales and business: deception. Your phone from 3 years ago is perfectly good, but they need you to think it isn't. Your wardrobe is perfectly good and you know styles come back, but they need you to believe the opposite. You're a perfectly normal weight and or height, but they need you to think you aren't. Their entire business models REQUIRES insecurity, and they themselves are supremely insecure.
Note how they want you to believe they're geniuses but most of them never returned to university after dropping out. They have the means to take a 5 year break from work and learn physics from the best professors in the world, but they don't. They have the money to go to world class therapists and life coaches to become better communicators and people but they don't. They too are addicted, they have a hoarding disorder(money) and an addiction to attention.
