I've been thinking for a while now, as we've had social media for many years already. What good has it brought to society? Scams, addiction, FOMO, cancel culture, gossip, missinformation, bullying, and the most self-centered generation in history, to name a few. All of it instantly and on a global scale. It's truly one the worst things that ever happened to society IMO.

Many people who never could afford to call international family now speak and see each other daily. I also disagree that technology has made anyone more self-centered, but disagreeing with Socratic proclamations is as old as society itself.

It's just negative branding for what is essentially the first time marginalized groups could have their voices heard. People who are used to writing op-eds and never hearing any criticism of their ideas are finally getting some negative feedback and they're super mad about it. You get absolutely unreal outrage abo…

Scott Cawson, the creator of Five Nights at Freddy's, was doxxed, harassed, and had death threats issued against himself and his pregnant wife.
His crime against society? Being outed as a Republican political donor. Not a crime, just exercising his right to participate in democracy. His ability to do so was subsequently attacked and stripped from him by brave keyboard warriors.
Death threats are an actual crime. They are not free speech. Nobody's been held accountable for that though.
This is the problem with modern "equality" movements. They don't want parity at all. They just want to tilt things enough in their favor so they can be the ones doing the bullying.
Another important thing to understand is the amount of fake propaganda passing off a news. Not just propaganda but we categorize some editorial style talkshows on YouTube as news. News itself isn't supposed to be bias. It isn't supposed to be entertaining. It is supposed to be just informative.

Social media has absolute changed the way people live their lives in my country - India. Personally, it has made me lose interest in my favorite outdoor activity i.e. hiking because of too many people showing up. Ex: I won't set foot on a trail on weekends[0]. [0] https://i.imgur.com/7V4cd4Z.png
Will you be blaming social media for their overcrowded trains too?
Well obviously since those are the most used platforms. Interesting that a bank, which should be full of clever people, doesn't know to take MAUs into consideration when seeing which platforms produce more fraud.
