I still remember when social media/web 2.0 was kicking off. All my mates were on it. I tried I really did but I thought the whole thing was a waste of time. When I finally learned the true intent behind these platforms wasn't connecting people but was making money from those people (connecting people is just the hook) I was done. Having seen how these platforms affect my children I'm now dead set against them. You literally are the product, and are manipulated to stay on the platforms to continue to be so. This is my long way of saying, with personal annocdotes, that I am not surprised at all by this finding.
