Agreed. Feels weird how normalied addictive social media behavior has become.
I think it's because we're social, we find it more normal to do parasocial activities than some other addictive behaviors which are often antisocial. But the reality is parasocial is just 3x antisocial in a trench coat.
Also how impossible the thought of a social media free future already is
Sadly I can't foresee a future where social media isn't a dominant force. Like what could possibly displace it at this point? Only dismantling GAFAM could make it work.
Yes I am aware of the irony of posting this comment on social media.
We'll surely invent something even worse ;-)
It's already here: social media where the "society" we're interacting with is mostly AI bots rather than other real human beings.
When you remove the biggest company, the second biggest company becomes the biggest company. At the end of the day, nothing has changed
