KZread has plethora of knowledge based content, lots of lectures, workshops, genuine people sharing their skills and ideas. Listen to podcasts, music, take virtual tours of places you`d probably never go to otherwise, learn how to cook, grow food etc. It is a great place for inspiration and also to some extend to build a community of shared interests. Of course, like everything in life, it needs to be used wisely. I only use FB for the interest groups or to support local entrepreneurs, artists, creators, farmers etc. There is place for everything, we just need to know how to use it. Now, after over a decade of the social media "products" we are getting more familiar with them and the dirt behind the scenes. We feed those companies with our time, data and money, so it only makes sense that we use the strength of our feedback to change their monopolies and hegemony before it is too late. As far as I remember they cannot exist without us, and the moment that flips we will be ruled by an "unaccountable algorithm."

The problem though is that everything revolves around or dabbles in social media. It's difficult to get a good job or network without it, especially now that it's basically considered weird to just walk up and communicate with somebody like a normal person. But SM is highly addictive. You have to be a highly disciplined person in order to not get hooked on time wasting, clout chasing, "friend" collecting, and petty arguments. You have to use it productively.

I quit social media over 2 years ago. Now I'm hooked on KZread. Which is how I got here😂 I think the problem is having a screens on you at all times. Instead of being productive, when we get bored, we pull out our phones. Which kills creativity and imagination. we stop thinking about doing things to keep us occupied. Instead, we're scrolling for the dopamine fix. The more you feed, the more you need..

@Trying2study

Right, that's why having a dumbphone is more enough than just deleting social media.. because you might scroll on your smartphone's gallery or just put your face in anything left not deleted in your smartphone. But dumbphone is just for phone calls and maybe text messages through sms

"It is your job to know your self. It is your job to experience yourself without addiction. It is your job to make, uhh, to make judgements." - Jaron Lanier I love this guy... I know this is an old interview, but I remember when it wasn't. And I am checking back on Jaron, to see if he's come out with any new stuff about 2022 thus far lol...

After getting rid of what social media I had (Facebook, and a Twitter account I never used) I found myself coming back to using my computer and phone as a tool again. More utilitarian use for creation (recording, graphic design, writing code) and as a sidekick (no pun intended) to keep finances, times, dates, etc. all straightened out. I feel like I've been brought back to the idea of a personal Work Station. And so far, it really has been freeing with a new found appreciation. I feel like life has settled down quite a bit.

Also I realized that social media ruins relationships. And it’s just hard because it becomes available to people to get depressed over. And when that past partner comes into a new relationship it hurts all over again. When In reality you would have never known about their life because you probably would never see them again or cross paths. So it would be easier to forget about them.
