Social media is the best example of the old addage: "the road to hell is paved with good intentions". It could be used for so much good, yet we've turned it into a cesspool of anonymous bullying and misinformation. Humanity isn't yet responsible enough to wield such a powerful tool it seems.
I deleted my Twitter, Instagram and Facebook in 2018 when I turned 25.
By the time Tiktok was mainstream, I had checked out. The only thing I have is thecoli
Reasons?
It’s mainly the nastiness, misinformation and lack of nuance it breeds. It incentives craving attention and not critical thinking.
People tend to compare themselves too much with others and don't ignore things they don't like online. I fell victim to that.
There are feeds now, and people consume whatever the feed is selling. Who would have thought that it would be so easy to control billions of people with a data medium that is so rich with information and education?
Its one massive, soulless content pipeline. I realized I miss out on nothing. These places don't feel like human beings connecting and sharing anymore. It's just a video and meme distribution service at best, and an algorithmic rage chamber / indoctrination machine at worst. Everyone and their shytty baby is on the internet screaming opinions, corporations have their greedy fingers in everything buying up anything profitable, injecting ads and mining data everywhere.
The biggest lesson so far after quitting social media is that a lot of people make their content for money. Whether it's clickbait discussions and just insincere information made as junk food for the brain. Sometimes we are arguing about content that was made for purpose of us arguing. The winners? Whoever gets paid for it.
