Social Media Needs To Die

For years, we've been spoiled--and ruined--by the internet. And honestly, it just makes me miss the simpler days even more. This social media shit has gotten so out of hand, and I fear it's what will push society into its impending doom quicker than expected. Actually, let me be more clear-cut: the internet itself isn't the problem. It's the platforms that gives people voices......and millions of them don't need a voice at all. Millions of those opinions should be kept to themselves, at home, in their room, in their own mind. Because you might think you're changing the world, but not in the way you'd hoped. No more Facebook, Twitter, IG, YouTube, Kik etc. No more posts or comment sections. It's toxic. I hope I'm not offending any followers because you're all genuinely good people. But having an internet "friend" is meaningless. Some of you will comment and say "well, social media can useful" and I agree. But guess what? The toxic shit far outweighs that usefulness. This is all wishful thinking on my part, because the creators are making way too much money on these platforms to give it up. It will only get bigger(and stupider) from here. All I can do is turn my phone off and forge the world in front of me. Hopefully others can do the same.
