RE: Are healthy social media platforms possible?

in #bigtech3 years ago

I actually just came off Facebook recently as I realised I was just going on there to procrastinate and not focus on things that could move me forward in life and I would end up feeling drained and tired and my eyesight would go blurry!Social media can be useful, these days almost necessary as a creative but we have to be able to use it and not have it use us and that seems to be a fine balance. Especially since all these platforms pay teams of people to make it as addictive as possible. I’m trying to move to the platforms that i’m not as addicted to and actually have productive value. Instagram is fine for me, then Blockchain platforms have value and YouTube et cetera. Platforms like Facebook really give you very little value for the amount of energetic drain they take. I still prefer real life, And it does get a little worrying when you think that everything might turn into a digital virtual reality and we will be living in a digital matrix before long. Some people spend the whole day gaming and don’t even experience life. I really believe we are here to make real connections not just digital ones and experience real life, nature and experiences with others in person…we can live in the virtual reality matrix once we pass over. I actually think maybe that’s why everybody’s become so argumentative and aggressive because they are really lacking actual real live connection with other humans.
