This argument falls down because social media companies expend a lot of effort getting you to use their platform as much as possible. Why keep a snake that’s trying to bite you in your pocket?
- partisan 8y agoI have to imagine that at some point in life, we have to take responsibility for our actions. That is, regardless of how much the cigarette or liquor companies market to me, I’m not going to allow myself to become addicted to their products. I drink. I very infrequently smoke a tobacco product. I don’t consume them in excess because I know it is bad for me. I suspect that we are going to see this type of movement more and more. It’s more signaling. It says, I don’t need to have social media to have a fulfilling life. My life is fulfilling. See pictures of me in [popular vacation spot]. See pictures of me having casual fun. But again, it’s not solving the true problem. If you needed the affirmation from random strangers, that won’t change.
