So many people are already like slaves of social media, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers who are neglecting their loved ones. And for what, some artificial reality... "And the people bowed and prayed for the neon god they made" Its from the song called Sound of Silence, which was written already more tha 40 years ago! On that time the words "neon god" surely ment something different, but for me it translates to our time scarely accurately as the Social Media, which we made...

WOW. Nicely said. How accurate! I love that song, but that's the first time actually realizing that line!
I think it's honestly crazy. Look, I will be a liar if I said I am completely against social media, because Steemit is a social media platform. At the moment, I am not only neglecting my family, but also everything else in my life, but that's just something called the hustle. I believe if there is a good reason for why you are sacrificing the things around you, then it's justifiable.
I do however, definitely agree that those other platforms are HUGE time wasters, and that if one is spending time on anything, but this platform, then they have an issue.
Exactly! I have to use all of them ( FB, IG, Twitter, Tumblr and with multiple accounts) because of my work. I can see and feel how addictive they are. Even that most of the stuff is just bullshit! If later I will change my job, I'll delete all those accounts, easily :)
