Social media is intentionally making humans anti social. It’s social cancer at this stage.
Dividing people into tribes to hate each other instead of focusing on the runaway wealth disparity between the working and ruling class.
People need to wake up and unplug. Touch grass and listen to each other emphatically.
No shit
It’ll serve up whatever it thinks gets dwell time and clicks and we know hate does it the easiest
I joined Twitter about two years ago when I was stuck at home and bored out of my mind, and before I got a chance to follow anyone my feed was flooded with far right anti-immigration stuff as a default.
No shit
Enraged = engaged
The majority of people were already against the level of immgartion.. I’m not sure how placing the blame on social media will change anything.
The more I’m on social media, the more I’ve come to realise:
People don’t get angry because of something they read on social media. They read social media TO get angry.
Ask people if they want to be angry they’d say of course not. But then, why does “ragebait” exist? If anger isn’t desired, why would it work as “bait”? When people are stressed and frustrated, anger and rage scratches that itch. And if we’re rage-junkies, our news sites become rage-dealers.
You can build a media empire (cough.. Murdoch) or a social media network (cough… Musk) just by giving people something to rage at. Worst of all – you can build a political career by doing it (Trump..Farage..Netanyahu etc.etc..)
This is absolutely happening and having a real impact IRL.
