I'm so happy that no one in my family is into social media at all. But those who I know who are into it, just do not care at all. To a point where I wouldn't even bring it up

    But those who I know who are into it, just do not care at all.

    I have friends like that too. Which is why it's so hard.

    It's not even a fair fight, b/c the big social medias employ psychologists to design their product to be as addictive as possible. So it pits Jane and Fred Doe of Main Street against a team of psychologist PhD who study every possible way to weaponize Jane and Fred's normal human feelings and emotions. Jane & Fred doesn't want to quit, so will find ways to rationalize a use of the products.

    It's a big damn problem. It impacts everyone. All of us. Not just the ones who use FB, IG, or X.
