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.

Spreading of the narcissism epidemic

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.

Psychological impact, the nature of algorithms as a whole, people simply wasting time.

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

tragic event has happened

Social media pages: is this a W or L⁉️

bingo

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.

its bad

10000000000% facts.

Especially this part

"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.

"

addiction and the need to feel accepted especially based on the number of "likes" and "followers' one has.

It’s deliberately manufactured to be manipulative like fast food with chemicals

9/11 during social media era would’ve been nuts

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

Too many weirdos

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***

I dont think social media is the problem I think how people socialize is

can’t wait for the Butlerian Jihad

it’s inevitable

Brainwashing ppl

Cant even be anti mandates or anti pharma w/o some d***eating nerd trying to talk s***.
