It seems to me that the world would be an objectively better place without any of the current generation of social media where you get force-fed content. Anything with a “feed” of anything other than what you specifically seek out to follow should be constrained at least by persistent warnings like cigarette labels and prevented from being used for advertising (subscription or freemium model). Advertising should be banned on media that is proven to promote social harm. MySpace, blogs, newsgroups, IRC were the socially optimal form, even if not the commercially optimal implementation. Everything else creates ragebait, doomscrolling, self reinforcing insecurity loops, rabbit holing, and other negative social consequences. If anyone has a counterpoint, I’m actually really interested in other, more positive, models for online social interaction.
