Not really. It's easy to stay informed without social media.

Seriously you DON'T need it. Thatsjust conditioning. Take it from an old guy who's seen that play book.

Get em while theyre young and you'll defend em till the end.

Its the same technique sports teams and terrorists use

Wich us why older people were the target of smear campaigns regarding tech. We who grew up without it know that we don't need it.

Companies don't want that secret out.

Lol. Let me explain.

For over 20 years I worked as a developer and an SEO

I was layer off two years ago. Still out of work except for a contract here and there.

In that time I have reduced my social media consumption. I find my head us clearer, my days a bit brighter and problems either don't occur as often are more easily dealt with on a clear manner

I honestly have come to the conclusion that social media is now directly causing most problems we have, or at least exacerbates them.

So i intentionally limit myself to this, and I guess YouTube( though I only use it to post videos for the business I'm trying to get off the ground

Otherwise, life's easier without it

I watch actual news on tv newspapers, etc.
