I hate social media. The rise of social media flipped content creation on its head. Instead of deliberately creating and editing content for static sites, people were now empowered to quickly and easily vomit their passing thoughts out to the world. On the face of things, this may sound great. Social media was empowering people to easily create content online. It was allowing anyone with an Internet connection to have a voice. The problem here, dear reader, is that social media was never about empowering people. It was all about one thing money.They track you so they can use your data to display more targeted ads on their platform. By having highly targeted ads, you’re more likely to click; and if you’re more likely to click, they make more money. I’m not saying you should avoid all social media - that shit’s pretty much impossible these days and is reserved mainly for social pariahs.
