- So it sounds big, but it's not, it's an echo chamber.shapesalad

- Very true, vast majority of social media users are narcissistic attention whoresdee-dubs

- little kids are overachieving the most. FB is just a bigger stage, the irony is that no one is paying attention it's just people screaming into an echo chamber.zarkonite
- @zarkonite you make a good point - it's just human natureKrassy
- ...however, social media amplifies the above behavior to the point that it consumes people and gets them addicted and preoccupied with comparing, etc.Krassy
- I totally agree, having it in your pocket, notifying you constantly, is just a massive trigger for your insecurities.zarkonite
- I like this from Jordan Peterson's book - "Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today."mort_

All kinds of new social media networks popping up...

- The check mark cash grab has already proved embarrassing. Anybody remember the ol' Blue Light Special?garbage
- There is no earned status, and he's effectively killed the platform. I'm also thinking he's so blinded by his own ego that he doesn't realize what he's done.garbage

Reading all the tweets from people announcing their upcoming departure from twitter (because of Elon) is really hilarious.
Reminds me of anyone whoever announced that they were quitting QBN. Ha! And just like QBN, most of the people who actually go thru with it will be back on twitter a few days later. Just watch

- the ones who said they were moving to Canada because of Donald trump ended up moving to Florida. Hypocriteshotroddy
- the ones who said they were moving to Canada because of Joe Biden ended up staying to Florida. MAGA4Lifeutopian
- Yep, tons of my neighbors said they were moving to Canada if trump was elected. Some of them are retired, wealthy and capable. No one moved.nb
- People will quit, though, but more importantly, advertisers won't put money where there is so much publicized hate. It's just bad marketing/business.formed
- I just pray it doesn't further fuck up politics. Now there will be lies spread 1000x faster with his pathetic "free speech absolutism".formed
- They are heroesGnash
- I don’t think many will leave twitter permanently. Twitter’s most common usertype is a person who likes to shout their opinion but take zero actionnb
- They might have an option that Jack Dorsey's working on: https://uk.finance.y…Palindrome
- The woke are triggered.Chimp
- You would post something snarky, yet totally benign, as if we care about your small yet totally generalized and judgmental opinion. #fuckbagcanoe

"I was on TikTok for 30 days: it is manipulative, addictive, and harmful to privacy"
"TikTok is not a suitable place for content that is purely informative or educational, that follows a normal learning pace, that lasts more than 1 minute, that has an introduction, a development, and a thoughtful conclusion, that does not use filters, music or ‘pyrotechnic’ effects, that does not try to be catchy or oversimplify things, that does not focus on dazzling in the first 3 seconds.
There is no time for deeper reflections, critical thinking or autonomy to process if what was seen makes sense or not.
Everything is so fast that viewers just have the content pushed down their throats. Users are passive and paralyzed, waiting to be amazed."

- why would I pay for a social media platform?ShenanigansTV

The Perils of Audience Capture
How influencers become brainwashed by their audiences
https://gurwinder.substack.com/p…
Nikocado, moulded by his audience’s desires into a cartoonish extreme, is now a wholly different character from Nicholas Perry, the vegan violinist who first started making videos. Where Perry was mild-mannered and health conscious, Nikocado is loud, abrasive, and spectacularly grotesque. Where Perry was a picky eater, Nikocado devoured everything he could, including finally Perry himself. The rampant appetite for attention caused the person to be subsumed by the persona.- I have zero sympathy for this dipshit.section_014
