I think it's becoming trendy to complain about technology and socal media.
The critics may have a legitimate point here or there, but there is basically no large scale movement to stop using these apps.
It's not that hard to stop using Twitter or Instagram if it was really hurting your life so much.

This is NOT a new problem. Through the centuries the masses would succumb to manipulations by the elites. The masses will ALWAYS want what is easy to attain and consume. What has changed is who's the gate keeper of that fulfillment. Right now those are the mega tech conglomerates while in the future it will be some other entity.
As H.L. Mencken said: "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." (remove the American and you have the structures of the world laid out in front of you).
- BTW "masses" doesn't mean "stupid and uneducated" - we all fall into that category at some point or another.pr2

“I look at some of my former students and I wonder if they’re really trying to make the world better, or just make money,” said Fogg. “What I always wanted to do was un-enslave people from technology.”
"In theory, we can all opt out of the loops of incentive and reward which encircle us, but few of us choose to. It is just so much easier to accept and connect. If we are captives of captology, then we are willing ones."
I think it's a question of time till someone figures out software that
empowers the user in a way that will render the actual 'social' media dopamine rushes absurd.
