It's definitely pretty crazy how these social media presences have become their own mini businesses. It makes you wonder how many people the big influencers have on staff to handle all of this stuff. It's also crazy the number of businesses that have popped up due to all of this. I get called about once a month from a vendor that wants to help me manage the archives of my social media posts. We don't need that sort of service, so we skip it.
It is a massive money spinner network - but just think, what tangible value is it adding to society outside of making money, and what are the costs? I don't think the "wellbeing statement" balances.
Yes, that is likely true. The returns are not equal to the layout. I can't recall a single social media post that made my life better for writing it or reading it.
