i tried to watch the movie and i honestly don’t get the hype. It really seems to be confirmation bias where those who already hate social media just rave about the movie.
and i actually think it did a very poor job at explaining things to people completely unfamiliar with the issues. i wonder if it will change a single mind or just preach to the choir

- barbs 6y agoSpeaking from personal experience - I watched the film with my girlfriend and a lot of it was news to her. It's changed her relationship with social media and technology. I also suggested it to a friend who was pretty addicted to Facebook and believed a lot of conspiracy theories. It's made him realise how FB has given him (and others) a distorted picture of reality. He's now disconnected from Facebook and only keeping in contact via messages.
- bickeringyokel 6y agoThis movie hasn't been out long, you sure your friends won't be up to their old ways in a month or two?
- barbs 6y agoI don't know, but they've got a hell of a lot more of a chance now that they're actually aware of the issues.
