I for one celebrate the inevitable crash/death of all this social media. It's turned normal people into unacceptable drooling trash. That is if you're able to ignore the data collection and use of it, in which case it turned the whole internet into a dumpster fire as well.

It's turned normal people into unacceptable drooling trash.

They always were. Social media just gave them a platform to you.

It also gave those trash people the feeling of "look I'm not alone" and amplified all of it. At least before people were worried about being seen as a fuckwit.
