EminemI have a love-hate relationship with social media. its moved our society forward in so many ways, but it's has brought us BACKWARDS in a lot of ways, too.
Social Media basically GAMEIFIES our lives and QUANTIFIES ones worth by number of followers.
It gives us quasi "clout" points and a false sense of self worth that doesn't translate to the REAL WORLD.
This is entirely toxic for many reasons and leads to a "follower" mentality where people overvalue the importance of, and frankly, worship those who are able to attain high follower counts a.k.a influencers.
Overall, I don't f**k with it.
Swipe left/right dating apps on the other hand, have single handedly RUINED dating for me for a handful of reasons.
1. It's almost impossible to actually go out, let alone match, with quality women due to the sheer quantity of options they. Dating apps are quite litterally rigged for women.
2. Even if you DO get to take them out, they have so many others vying for their attention (significantly more than pre-social media times), you are extremely replaceable.
Social media and dating apps have made people able to connect on levels never seen before - but by doing so, it seems they've helped destroy genuine human connection in the process.
Bro, everything you mentioned has been discussed every single day for the last ten years. This isn't anything new.
With that said, I agree with everything you said.

UndecidedI signed up for Facebook for the marketplace a few weeks ago and 100% regret it
you can buy things for the low though. I just used an app to give me another phone number & didn't use my real one. Facebook is a b**** security wise

The downsides I experience are just getting too caught up in it. The addictive nature of checking to see who just liked you constantly etc. as well as just spending more time than I should messaging literally 5-10 new girls a day. To me it’s similar to social media. The addictive time wasting nature is the bad part. I don’t have a problem meeting up with quality women

Trust me it’s become 10x more easy to be a hoe in college
Nov 14, 2020Saying dating apps have ruined dating itself and the reasons you listed seem questionable imo
Nov 14, 2020been off that wave about 2 or 3 years now
ill get on insta/twitter occasionally to post but besides that i never check my feed or likes. i remember when i was like 16 if i didn’t get 100 likes on a post i felt s***ty about it; such a dumb thing to care about
Nov 14, 2020I’ve met people through social media and that’s amazing. I built friendships.
The dating aspect on apps can be overwhelming. Bcuz there’s so many options. I think you gotta take it with a grain of salt. That’s why don’t over due it and don’t place your worth as a person on how many dates/ non-progress you make.
My best advice is don’t over due social media. Take breaks. Trust me everyone is going thru some s***

SellI mean bruh I just use dating apps to f*** I know that s*** won’t last I’ll find the right one IRL not online
This too, dating apps are not the viable option to look for long term relationship
Even a f***boy I knew irl admitted to saying that apps are not the places to look for an actual relationship

Big facts
Nov 14, 2020At the end of the day social media is what you make of it. I get on sparingly and post what I like. I use it just to keep tabs on friends and whatnot. Definitely understand your point, but can’t just point the finger at socials if someone is enabling that behavior.

Pretty sure something like it is already in China.

It’s going to only get worse. Bro on clubhouse which most of y’all have heard of.
They already got people charging in order for them to even speak.
Clubhouse is the most pretentious bullshit ever. "A&R's" who don't do s*** tryna act important on there

That s*** is becoming toxic. I’m listening to the chat like wtf. So there’s moderators for the chat. This girl was literally like “moderating is a skill you got to build up and she was so proud of herself” like fam moderating isn’t special lmao. the app’s idea is genius, but man it’ll be 10x more detrimental than any social media platform out there EASILY.
internet mods amirite? Lmao

You on there? Facts bro. The creatives lowkey ruining the app. I was on a chat about capitalism. This bird brain who had nothing to say randomly comes in and says “what are y’all doing for black women” didn’t even have anything to do with what we were talking about. Clubhouse really exposes how dumb a lot of people really are

I feel like people want an elevated sense of worth and clubhouse is accelerating that even more
