Maybe it’s because I’m old, but it still completely blows my mind that people rely on social media for news.
To me social media is no different than Saturday morning cartoons (American phenomenon from the 80s/90s) that fill children’s minds with advertisements of sugar cereal and action figure toys, except social media is 24/7 and just stupid enough to become a drug habit.

- Chinjut 2y agoCNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc, are no better. They're just more established.
- rascul 2y agoI use Twitter to follow certain sports and sports teams. One of the best places for that news. I don't use Twitter for anything else though so I don't know what it's like.
