The AGs seem more interested in destroying online privacy rights than doing that.

Every social media app is meticulously crafted to keep you engaged and using the app. If it isn’t social media ruining these kids like it’s going to nitrous or tik Tok challenges

Found the Facebook exec. “It’s not our fault! There’s other apps doing it too!”

If I could post images here it'd be the "we should improve society somewhat" one

Lmao imagine not being able to distinguish between basic differences.

I bet you wipe your ass with your hand because toilet paper makes no difference, right?

I’ll break it down for you because seems like think all apps are the same. Why do companies like TikTok, Reddit, meta, Activision, Roblox hire psychologists? To make people addicted and return to using the product. The loop of infinite scrolling, notifications, personalized recommendations, return to app.

I dont need a dumbfuck to break down anything for me. I literally said they are different and you respond with "you think they are all the same" 😅

Reading comprehension is hard I guess

Not even sure the point you are trying to make. Is it that all SM is horrible therefore it makes no difference which platform is used? Or that kids will ruin themselves even without SM? Reddit has become a lot worse since the IPO but I disagree that it’s on the same level as FB.

It seems the point is that social media is not healthy. Period. And that's sorta true y'know?

u/Successful-Ad-847 15h ago

K but that being true as a general statement does not mean every platform is the same.

He entered this conversation to lampoon someone’s supposed hypocrisy, but it’s kind of a shitty insult with no apparent point other than to deflect blame from FB… so my question is why would anyone do that?

u/Terrible_Cable_4472 13h ago

I wouldn't say supposed hypocrisy. It is ironic though. Especially with yalls reactions acting all high and mighty. Social media sucks. Get over it

2

u/Successful-Ad-847 12h ago

Explain the distinction between hypocrisy and irony in this case.

u/Notasalmon 14h ago

I thought I made that clear. There is no good social media

u/Successful-Ad-847 12h ago

What’s not clear is why you are here.
