There's a lot of issues about social media that will be revealed sooner than later in the coming years. The one I fear most is people's morale, i'm starting to see more people than ever being radicalized or on the contrary supporting things they're not deeply rooted in yet.
Profit-motivated algorithms based on engagement means controversy, agitation, and misinformation are far more likely to spread than something more productive
I heard this good theory where algorithms are the reason society is so divisive right now
Having a perfectly splint demographic that are polarized against each other creates this extremely profitable situation that can be exploited by any algorithmically driven economy
social media got 40 year olds acting like 15 year olds because that's who they're arguing with on social media and they don't know it.
Spooky, SM along with the internet raising the next gen tbh.
No doubt there’s tons of households where parents got entertainment systems , iPads/phones etc at young ages so the parents would get breathing room

i mean it's not really a theory
every online platform runs off algorithms, specifically to recommend the user what they want to see and how to configure the feed
clicks, views, follows, etc. == $$$
outrage especially drives the numbers up
you can make a lot of returns off culture wars
Nobody think for themselves anymore. There’s people pandering and not being true to themselves because they don’t wanna get hit by the groupthink crowd.
You got people trying too hard to make it seem like they’re good people because they complain about s*** that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Mfs try to police other people while at the same time wilding out or saying wild s*** in general themselves.
Social media is just fake asf. It’s only cool if you have a small circle or tryna clap some booty.

"Nobody think for themselves anymore. There’s people pandering and not being true to themselves because they don’t wanna get hit by the groupthink crowd.

Just miss when getting on Twitter was because you were bored and would tweet dumb s*** like “shower flow” or to get to know people. S*** is so narrative driven it’s so annoying like I know it’s coming from a position of extreme privilege but I just really don’t care to see a lot of that s*** 24/7
Also Twitter bots or people that tweet lowest common denominator thoughts like “I’m quiet but I’m going through a lot” and get 100k RTs like bruh who are the people who actually enjoying this s***
Brainwashing ppl
Cant even be anti mandates or anti pharma w/o some d***eating nerd trying to talk s***.
