That's a great summary of why social media is a dumpster fire. From buying fake likes down to plain old sleaziness, you seem to have covered all the bases.

- vmception 6y agoBig dumpster fire. A lot of people need the challenge of the dopamine hits, and become less interested once they know how to undermine it, or how fake or unfulfilling "success" is. High engagement can be used as a currency though, its common attribute being that you can trade it for goods and services in a predictable way. I actually keep a very personal profile with maybe around 100 followers. I watch some of the women there - long time friends - chase fame and other guys with shiny things - and I have to laugh about it because its I always can present that way if I want to, but I watch to see if they ever mature to wanting more substance. I have some criticisms for Facebook Inc about this though. They should really broker these transactions. There is a lot of sleeziness in the transactional side of growing these accounts. So instead of just ignoring it, they could really be getting a cut of this in so many ways.
