We (or really, I, personally, but I think you also) should think of #SocialMedia primarily as a brain-rotting time suck that genuinely significantly ruins our lives, rather than a small inconvenience or leisure activity.

Corporate social media saps us of our time, attention, focus, sense of reality, self-confidence, and self-determination. It is a net negative for almost every single person I’ve talked to about it. It steals our life from us.

I know when I’m older, I will not care about how much Reddit karma I have, or how many upvotes I got on witty comments. I won’t care how much time I spent endlessly watching video loops, or what influencers I saw. It’s all meaningless time theft.

Treat it more like a hard drug in your mind, not a harmless little thing. Act and decide accordingly.
