Social media has ruined society, indeed, but only because the exploitability was always there to begin with. Just look at everyone in this thread opting for letting their kids cave in to peer pressure and dodging responsibility for their up

I think it's time we build real alternatives to dystopian web services rather than try to salvage or parasitize them in any way.

The coupling of social media and smartphones has made parental negligence, laziness, emotional distress, and plain stupidity a hundred times more harmful. That's the gist of it.
