So this ruined the fun of most social media for me and took the dopamine out of it: - Facebook: I realized everything I posted got maybe 1 or 2 likes. Either no one was looking at my stuff or the algorithm wasn't propagating it. At the time I had 150 friends, so I would have expected more response out of most of my posts than that. Thus I was just giving Facebook info about myself and that it really was a waste of my time. - Most social media apps: It's so easy to get caught up in the hope that your stuff goes viral, but understanding the above and really thinking about how things go viral (essentially purely random or so plugged into a developing zeitgeist that you stumble upon it), the chance of that happening is so small that your efforts are honestly better spent elsewhere. Even if it does happen, what's the reward. What's the true value of merely being Internet famous? Is it worth posting multiple times daily and being consumed with the reactions? Most worthwhile Internet famous people have lives and value beyond their social media posts. After really realizing this social media became mostly pointless to me and I wasn't doing social media instead of more important things in my life. If you are getting a lot of meaningful engagement with your posts, then maybe it's a value-add and you shouldn't stop. Otherwise maybe taking a 1-week break and seeing if anything significant in your life changes will put it into proper perspective.
