Hello everyone, good evening! I hope you're all doing well. Today we have a very sensitive thing to discuss. And it is actually relevant at this point in time. Social media is a very integral part of our lives now. I'm sure anyone reading this also uses social media on a daily basis. That's not a bad thing. As this has allowed us to connect with more people around the world and connect with the people who we had initiated lost in different stages of our life and then found them on social media. The overall concept of how social media is supposed to work from its early inception is groundbreaking. It was probably the most unsinkable ship if it was considered that. But things have always taken a turn for the worse in human history. And this is no different. Social media is far away from what it could have been. And I really believe that a lot of people need some proper education on its downsides.
Modern day social media is an endless black hole. The term ‘doomscrolling’ is coined because people keep scrolling and lose track of all things around them. This has been more evident since the innovation of tiktok and Instagram. Both of these apps now offer a shorter form of content which basically spans from one or two minutes, and people keep consuming these at an alarming rate and eventually get addicted to this quick dopamine release. We are social media, was supposed to be a place where people connect with each other and talk and chat and post pictures of their life. It is now a place where people compete on who can pump more content out everyday and earn money from those contents. And this has gotten so saturated that the content quality these days is very very low. And the general people who are addicted to these things at this point, don't even care. They keep on watching them. And from this comes the term called ‘brainrot’. These support contents are messing up with people's minds and they are becoming less social and using more social media and they are losing their better judgment. Also, there is this unhealthy competition of people posting their best moments on Instagram and their most beautiful pictures, which don't even represent their day-to-day life, are becoming the reason for the other person's insecurity. There are many cases currently on the court docket regarding such social media practices by the big companies and their misuse of the social media algorithm to feed people more of the same. So the depressed and insecure person can get more depressed and insecure and the doom scrolling person keeps on doom scrolling.
So yeah, people need to learn more about social media and they need to see the truth of how social media is going to be used in today's world. It is anything but social media and currently it is just an app where you go and lose your mind. I was just everyone to control their consumption of social media and I welcome any argument that contradicts mine.
