Zuckerberg has spawned a new era of addiction that we haven't fully realized yet because we are still living in it and have yet to see the outcomes. Facebook is a net negative for society.
Social media has replaced the really terrible feelings. When's the last time you were sad and alone for an entire day? Likely never, you can pull out your phone at any given second and plug those feelings, and you'll stop there and never realize what forces those feelings really have. It's the forces of human despair that drive us to do big things. Social media drowns out that force. You can plug any sad moment with a bit of social media and bring yourself from 'sometimes really sad' to 'never sad but always mediocre'.
I'm not the best at articulating ideas but I hope you know what I mean. We are slowly all becoming the same person in a different shell and it's terrifying.
