Yeah Im not a big fan of social media although I daily use it for promotional purposes. There are many interesting social experiments you can find online about how you can create a scripted online life and create a following that will believe it. It's actually scary when you think about it. What is real and what isn't. I find the web fascinating but also terrifying. I've only been to one meeting so far and it was lovely ^_^

i've been to a lot of conferences over the years, it's only real when you meet the people behind the accounts, otherwise it's just potentially scripted, fake or AI driven. even then, when i've met the people i've realised they don't hold the same values or ethics as me. i'm just glad i had paper penpals and true human connections before social media arrived to give me a grounding about people! :)
That's amazing! and I absolutely agree , for whoever is born in the 2000's I feel so sorry for them as they are growing up in this illusion of a world where likes matter more over a sit down for a cup of coffee with a friend. I wish people wrote letters to each other again!
