Social Media Is Dumb
If you haven't figured it out yet, I dislike most social media a little (a lot). My main problem with it stems from just how brainrotting it truly is. Websites like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Twatter, FaceBook, etc suck, I hate them and most of the pricks on them. I prefer old-school internet forums, and the only social media I truly use is YouTube (mostly on account of how dominant it is). Reddit is... okay. I think it went public on the stock market recently and I think that's a pretty dumb decision. I used to use Twitter, but then I got super sick of it.
I strongly dislike how so much of the content available on social media is pure garbage. I feel like most of the posts on those websites are either just bikini pictures/shirtless photos from attention-hungry "influencers", complete misinformation meant to fool and scare gullible morons, or just stupid "memes" (speaking of...). I especially hate "influencers". Most of the famous figures like Charli D'moron got famous just because they shook their ass in front of a camera and got lucky. Just because of that, just because they can shake their tits in front of millions, they get sponsorships with huge companies and get to go on TV to talk about themselves (-_-). On a similar note, I hate that social media gives stupid celebrities like Cardi B, Nicki Manaj, Kanye West, and the other degenerates a larger platform to spew their garbage on. I already hate Cardi B and her awful "music", I don't want her to become more famous! Influencers are a leech on this society, and need to be cut off pronto!
I'm seriously convinced that social media makes people stupid. You know, there are actual studies out there that extensively cover social media's negative affects on your brain. Prolonged social media use can negatively affect your body image, mental health, attention span, and feelings of loneliness, among other things (then again, most of the people who use social media a lot will probably be unable to get past the first sentence of any study before having to check their phones again ROFL). Get it through your heads people! None of those posts by your favourite jackass influencer are good for your brain, the only thing you're doing by looking at Nicki Manaj's new bikini photo shoot is filling your brain with garbage.
Social media sites are a huge privacy violation. They track your browsing habits, search history, etc. to serve you personalised ads. Saying "personalised ads" is just a friendly way of saying "We sold your data to advertisers SUCKER!" What gets me is that nowadays, people don't even seem to care that Zuckerborg and Co. are sharing their personal info with shady actors. After all, why care when you just absolutely have to see Taylor Swift's latest half nude photo shoot in Dubai!!!!! YASSSSSS GIRLBOSS QUEEN SLAYYYYYYY!!!! (I felt physically sick after writing that, by the way)
I hate how many kids are being raised on social media. Now look, I'm not one to pull the "won't anyone think of the children!?" card, because most of the time that card is pulled it's for stupid reasons by religious zealots or politicians who just want more control over people, but I think giving kids unrestricted access to Cardi B's ass pictures isn't good for anybody, unless you want to raise a generation of porn-addicted losers. If you're a parent reading this, please don't let your young children get on social media! It'll just ruin their mental development!
Social media is nothing but brain-candy. It might taste good, it might make you happy, but you'll be getting nothing good from consuming it.
