    Yeah yeah I know surface level thoughts here but as someone who has seen most of social media evolve from AIM to where we are today, every time I mindlessly scroll I just get this sinking feeling that everything I see is just all a facade and it really kind of creeps me out. Honestly it feels like an advanced AI just spits out some fine tooth combed some algorithms to keep you busy. Am I trippin or does anyone feel that way?

    Feel like once capitalism got ahold of socials it stopped being fun. I feel for the people who never got to experience it before money was involved

    Yea one of the founders of Google said he’s been off the internet for a while and doesn’t let his kids use it. Another founder of YouTube said the algorithm is designed to keep you clicking and scrolling so if you have nothing you actually typed into the search bar, turn it off cause then you’ll fall into the dopamine feedback loop.

    It’s sad because I feel like most of the time it comes from good intentions, but we just have this like micro society that we’ve all standardized by basically inaccurately portraying who you are whether it’s by lying, exaggerating, etc

    And it’s crazy you say that cause they all prefaced their statements with “we had good intentions.” You should watch the doc on netflix, The Social Dilemma, if you haven’t seen it yet. It explains some of the founders’ perspectives then and now

    Idk. Feel like social media is just a reflection of you/your mind. You control 95% of what you see on your TL. Never complained or hated social media. I follow and look at things that inspire/educate/interest me everyday

    I would highly recommend you watch it to get a better understanding of your questions. It’s not a BS doc and has in-depth interviews with a bunch of the founders of social media we use now and in the past

    I view social media as a sanctimonious cesspits of regression. A sewage dump littered with insecurity, acrimony, envy, self-righteousness and jealously.

    Everyone is in constant competition with each other, all looking to out do each other with each post, oh look at me and my new shoes blah blah yeah well look a my new jacket. Everything is fake, superficial and glamourised. Fake lives, fake filters, fake friends, fake situations.It makes me sick. It's all for show all for others to boast about what you have.

    I’d rather die than ever be seen on such a thing. I’m way too apathetic and narcissistic to give a toss about people's lives. I have zero interest in having a constant update of people who couldn’t care less about artificial meaningless lives.
