The Problems of Social Media

James — February 6, 2018

A system designed to make you seek positive feedback from other people.

A system designed to provide instant gratification.

A system designed to take you out of the present.

A system designed to compare yourself to others.

A system designed to optimize advertising to you.

A system designed to encourage biased and click-bait news reporting.

A system designed to create a “fear of missing out” should you decide to leave.
