Well to start forums are a self selecting group of like minded individuals. To be an active member usually requires thought and care, intelligence and skills such as reading comprehension and critical thinking... Oh, and the whole system isnt built to game your senses in order to mine minute data points about you that is then sold to companies who then masquerade their content as ads all while pretending that they're doing good work for the world...
But honestly, if you cant tell the difference between Social Media and a forum, maybe you should step away from the net all together. Read some books, learn a hobby. Go outside. Make some real life friends... For it seems as if you too close to the forest to know that its made up of trees.
Its just like fast food. If its all you eat, you have no idea what real food tastes and feels like...
- kiplkipl 6y agoBeyond ads, everything I interact with on social media is through choice. I'm aware of how targeted advertising works: it reminds me of seeing toy adverts between children's TV shows. Thank you for the life coaching.
- 12xo 6y agoOh, sorry. I didnt realize you are super-duper smart. Maybe because your posts are anything but... Or maybe you're just being sarcastic and just not a very good writer... Either way, thanks for contributing. It really makes a difference.
