My unpopular take - Social media itself is cool, but when it went mobile, and people started getting unlimited data plans.. the world fell apart.

Before that, you had to be home to check your messages and be active. So when you were out, you were still living life and creating relationships. After it went mobile, people can't just enjoy the moment anymore. It has to be broadcasted on social media right then. It's sad.

Social media was created for people to reach out to one another faster without hassle of searching through the web slot for information relating to their needs. Communication at social media is super swift, just as we have in forums, all of them serve their own tremendous capacity.

    People cant even enjoy the human experience. I remember at a concert recording it with my phone watching it through the screen I had a personal intervention. I put my phone away and never did it again. If you didnt see it, you have to go yourself I won’t have pictures.

    It’s not the fall, it’s the beginning. It’s about to go virtual reality with the metaverse and cause people to never leave the house.

    my lil bro sent me a facebook portal without consulting with me and he got offended when I told him I had no intention of using it. I have a burner phone and no way to face time other than zoom or google meet up, but for some reason this is more convenient for him. I don't get it.

    You hit on what has me nervous. The meta verse is the dystopian future everyone is going to accept with open arms. The corporations are going to control everything you read, see, and hear and most youth will be in it.

    Add Transhumanism, depression and mental illness and isolation, robots becoming conscious and sentient, declining wages, ugly realities, robots having babies, more virtual boyfriends and girlfriends, more transhuman + human and robot + human relationships, wombs and organs being stolen and ripped from women so that transwomen can benefit from them, Satanic agendas, decline in nuclear families and extended families, threatening governmental and corporate interference, and other imaginable and unimaginable debauchery and corruption. A recipe for unnatural disaster.

    I think social media has made society Hypersensitive to the realities of life in many ways. For example 20 or 30 years ago, if you said something disrespectful to someone, you'd have no choice but to either apologize or throw hands with them, but nowadays, people run to SM to get sympathy and clout when someone puts hands on them for talking trash. SM has ruined the dating arena for people specially looking for long term relationships. Nowadays, social media is just too much about hook up culture.

    It's going to be a hive mind completely controlled, completely enslaved, completely useless. It's going to be TikTok on Human Growth Hormone. Your children will have no one to play with. People will play football in the metaverse. When you go outside your glasses will use AR to keep you in the metaverse. Like you also said, they will continue working on Androids and you'll have an android companion plugged into the metaverse. Your car is going to be in the metaverse. Finally when putting on the headset becomes too much of a hassle people will start receiving the microchip.

    Hell nah bruh. I wouldn't even plug that damn thing in. I wouldn't even take it out the box. Ontop of that I'll be like "nigga what happened to zoom?" Facebook Portal is probably doing all kinds of spying.

    But do you think Social Media did that or it exposed just how ubiquitous shallowness is? Like for instance, Social Media made it easier to date, at least for me, it gave me greater access. Also would you say there was a difference between the phone and social media? I knew hella niggas that caught hands because they were talking tough on the phone.
