Again, I think this analogy doesn’t work. Firstly, alcohol is inherently bad for you. SM is not. SM to me is more malleable and we can choose to make it what we want. We could apply this to most things from video games to work.
- ricardobeat 4y agoVideo games or work do not expose you to ads or recommendation systems, or feeds of your friends living a perfect life. There are no parallels among these, I think you’re trying a bit too hard to go against the current. Its good for you that you have a healthy relationship with social media, but as evidenced by the study in this post and others it does have a negative impact that you can’t wish away.
- elvis10ten 4y agoWill you say people don’t also compare video games to tobacco/drugs? Or people can’t get addicted to working/video games/etc? > Video games or work do not expose you to *ads or recommendation systems* You must be joking? When last did you play free games on your phone? Are even ads or recommendation system unique to SM? > friends living a perfect life This happens anyways is my argument. Although it can be more persistent with SM, I admit. > I think you’re trying a bit too hard to go against the current. My issue is with comments like “SM is like smoking/alcohol/drugs”. Which I don’t think is a correct comparison.
