I was in high school when Facebook came out. I rejected social media and never engaged with it. I’ve never had a Snapchat or a Facebook or an Instagram. When Facebook came out it just seemed obvious to me that it was a bad idea. It was basically a brutal platform that hugely magnified the ugly, quantitative aspect of socializing. Who’s the most popular? Who’s the smartest and funniest? Friend count and likes and so on basically streamline the process of judging others and self evaluation. It’s brutal and anxiety inducing and it never made any sense. Of course the root of the problem is the people who use it who are viscious and mean. Affluent American teenagers are some of the worst human beings on the planet.
