Social media companies use predatory tactics that abuse our knowledge of the human psyche to pull people into social media. It's not the fair choice you make it out to be
Old media did this too. Newspapers, yellow rags, pulp fiction, special interest magazines. Chock full of physiology-abusing tricks.
I’ll also add that the other people around you use social media - so if you want contact, it’s now harder than it used to be since fewer people are eager to strike up an anonymous conversation.
This has especially ruined dating.
As someone that doesn't use social media outside of Lemmy, it's really not as hard as people seem to make it out to be.
Says the guy arguing with everyone replying to him. Have some self-awareness for once.
