Social Contagion[1] is more prevalent in females. So is an affinity for people/relationships over objects. I suspect it's nearly as toxic for males if they were to consume on equal doses, but social media is naturally more tuned for relationship (and subjective) focus than object (and objective) focus. Would be great if we could start doing properly controlled trials with folks who _never_ use these things we're widespread experimenting across the population. A few examples that might make sense: social media, pornography usage, and perhaps any fast tracked vaccines. Might make sense to have even just a few randomized folks be controls for research purposes. As of now you likely cannot find even a single person over ~15 who hasnt used social media/porn ever in their lifetime.
