social media sucks

hey hey welcome to my rant

Well i think a vast number of people over here are sick and tired of social media, and i am too . The pressure to always be perfect, to never be seen at your worst, to be sociable, friendly, the chase after friends and the need of acceptation from others. All of those are probably things we all have felt at some point while using social media. It;s totally normal. I'm sick of the way every social media platform is not even about feeling good, cause you can't without constantly checking if the photo you just posted gets engagement or if your follower count went up or down, and it's tiring. I have tried getting rid of all social media, but it's hard when there are just a few apps where you can interract with all your friends. I hope i ain't the only one feeling like this

i think modern social media sucks, but good thing there is plenty of alternatives to choose from if you want to quit social media altogether. I've personally haven't had any social media presence in years(except for this place) and am i grateful for it.

I agree, especially Twitter. It seems like most of the people on there are just looking to cause a stir to get their tweets liked and retweeted. And it really is like an echo chamber. If you don't share the same views as others, they target you. 


I prefer quality conversation over quantity, even if someone disagrees with me, as long as we can converse about it, we're cool. But so many people would rather just trash talk you, Dox you, then block you instead of talking.

I could not agree more. Whats even more damaging is the effect social media has had on normal media such as TV and songs. It is truly painful watching our world be flushed away to this.
