Social media is bad for you
With the world going to hell in a hand cart and a world wide toilet roll shortage imminent , it might be worth considering the major cause. Chances are you have popped in here after using the main cause, the main bringer of doom and gloom, social media. Yes I use it but in my defence I take 90 percent of it as rubbish. Its mainly for games, music and looking at nice pictures.

Trash Algorithm or Trash People
So within the last year or so I have been hearing a lot of talk about people being manipulated by algorithms. There are stories about YouTube's algorithm making it harder and harder to see the content you want, or censorship on twitter through machine learning code. These are obviously problems with the reliance of algorithm's to run all these platforms and we should definitely find solutions in the power of tech in our lives. Sometimes though there are some takes on algorithms that rub me the wrong way. Today the thing I want to explore is the idea that social media algorithms peddle outrage and fear. I'm going to stick with Facebook because I've used it more than others and I don't think anyone wants to read about my observations of all algorithm based sites.

What they don't tell you about Instagram
What does Instagram do? Basically, it takes people’s attention and resells it to others. Your attention (read: information about your persona, your “likes and dislikes”) these days is money. Social media sells this information about you to other corporations, brands, so they could know how to get to their target audience.

I Deleted Facebook Off of My Phone For A Month - Here's How it Affected My Life
Social media has a way of taking over our daily lives. We use it to stay connected with friends, family, and coworkers; to stay in the know of news all over the world; voice our opinions, and so on. So, it definitely has its pros and cons. One of the major cons I personally have is the negativity that can come from it. People feel more powerful behind a screen, and so they speak how they want about any topic. In which then, racism; prejudice; general hatred; and comparison comes to a head. At some point, it truly begins to take a toll on someone and their mental and emotional health.
