Most people in our circles recognize the social media is marketing for your personal brand, and use it responsibly. Many people in the wider world don't. They often see it as a way to share memories with other people or to save their memories, because free photo storage is a thing of the past and most people don't have more than 256 GB of hard drive space on their phone (their only computing device).
- derefr 3y ago> or to save their memories, because free photo storage is a thing of the past Using a social network as a journal doesn't imply needing to post anything publicly. There are plenty of private Instagram accounts that people just use to save photos.
- pclmulqdq 3y agoYou're still sharing it with the one person who can do the most damage: Mark Zuckerberg.
- loeg 3y agoThis isn't really what I'm getting at and I don't really agree with the characterization. Saving memories and sharing with people you know is totally fine. That's very different from, e.g., monetizing your kids through short-form video.
- pclmulqdq 3y agoYeah, most people don't monetize their kids, but "likes" != monetization. You're thinking about a small minority of people who have the most serious version of this problem, but it is a lot more widespread than just people who monetize their kids.
- ryandrake 3y ago> Most people in our circles recognize the social media is marketing for your personal brand Marketing for your personal brand? What on earth does that even mean? I can’t even imagine what “my personal brand” would be let alone how/why I would market it. Get me out of this narcissism dystopia!
