I couldn't agree more. There is a misbelief that social media is designed to connect us. Which is a great idea and to some degree is true. But the real design of social media is to hold our attention for as long as possible. The ringer we scroll the more advertising we are subjected to and results in more profit for the media platform owners. They will sell everything sex, food, travel, health etc in a way that keeps us locked to the screen.

Thank you greatly for the concious content. I think we are changing the paradigm here on steemit everyday.
