I personally don’t like social media due to the information overload aspect of it. It’s easy to blame big corps for like designing an app to increase retention / screen time.
However, behind all that, there’s actually a very human nature of creating content. Human has been creating since very long time ago, like the cave paintings. People write songs, diaries and stories; things that people do not for mere survival, but to tell the world about their existence, “I was here”.
I think, having “bad” social media apps doesn’t mean we should stop posting. We can develop a different relationship with these apps, or simply share our creations using other means, or even just create personal collection to share with close family and friends.
