No.
You're confused because you're attempting to take an entire technology and then view it through a binary lens of "good" or "bad." This is impractical and not at all useful.
I'm sorry your use of social media is filled with such negativity. Other people are using to connect over their hobbies, to collaborate and to do work together, to do research, to put together broadcasts, to have this very conversation we're having right now.
Social media is exactly like all other human activities. It's a reflection of the sum total of humanity. It has both good and bad aspects to it. It is a part of us because we built it.
- hot_gril 3y agoModern social media is designed to be addictive. Addiction means the habit far outlives its usefulness, to the point where it's detrimental. Most human activities aren't like this. You can get addicted to just about anything, but a few things are way more common. Social media can also be used for good reasons like you described, and that's how I use it too. I still think it's a net negative on society, though. It's just too good at taking away human interaction and doesn't provide enough in return, the way most people are using it.
