    Ok so sounds like the problem isn’t actually social media then?

    Rather it is a question of the choices we make about the architecture and design of social media.

      Well, duh. That’s the problem. That’s what I’m saying. That’s like saying beer doesn’t cause alcoholism, the alcohol in it does. You’re being pedantic.

        No, when you just say social media = bad you feed into the moral panic with your intellectual laziness.

        Try harder with formulating your arguments please.

          Every teenager, edgelord and redditor (but I repeat myself) thinks this way. That being some kind of contrarian/devil’s advocate dipshit is some proof or evidence of their mighty intellect.

          “Oh, but have you thought about this!!! It seems only I am so smart as to have such enlightened thoughts…”

          Every teenager is the Gotcha-Man and they think they’re unique and novel.
