In a way, the prevalence of social media is truly a case of “the market has spoken”…and we picked convenience and quick hits of dopamine over long drawn out back and forths about what to do next.
Heck, I like playing badminton in my apartment complex but I’ll never pick up the building intercom to call individual players to ask if they want to play. I’d rather post in our WhatsApp group and hope that someone bites.
In this case, social media is reading interaction and in my view is a net positive.
