    They’re not wrong. Social media has been almost as destructive to my mental health as MMO games.

      Social Media is much worse than MMOs. How many people have played World of Warcraft & Co? Meanwhile everyone and their grandmothers are on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok etc.

        I’m not sure about that. Personally, I’m sick of kids running through the hallways screaming “For the Horde!” and painting “The people called Alliance, they go the house” on the walls.
