Social Media

Is anyone else just kinda over it?? I see so many ppl busting they ass to post on social media or be an influencer or have they whole life displayed for the world to see. And this generation it’s sad tbh. All these lil kids wanna be like social media influencers or aspire to be like ig models. Kudos to those who make good money doing it, but at what expense?? It’s crazy to me. No I’m not a country girl or grew up with limited access to devices. I used to put EVERYTHING on social media when I was in college and it reached a point where I was like nah this is too much. Nowadays ppl break up over social media. And with how the technological world is evolving I rlly don’t trust it. I’m only 25 and I feel like there’s just so much more to life. Idk is it just me who feels this way or does everyone just feel like it’s a necessary thing?

I've never wanted to be an influencer but I used to post a lot more on social media. Now I basically use this app and that's it. I still have a Facebook but I don't have the app on my phone and it's kind of a "burner" fb I guess. Not my whole name, my picture is my cat, I don't really post anything, only friends with family and follow local pages etc. I don't do Instagram, snapchat, tiktok, or Twitter. It all just seems so vapid sometimes.

I hate it too. My son got some new "viral" candy yesterday and wanted to make a tiktok of himself trying it. Like why? Not everyone has to be an influencer and less social media should be the goal. We need more doctors and teachers and plumbers less influencers.

Yeah, I got rid of it all a few years ago and I’ve been so much happier for it. I only have peanut and X for my news. I see so many people just scrolling scrolling, “did you see that on fb?”, “did you see XXs live?”, this meme that meme and I just think… it means nothing ladies. Parents on the bus ignoring their kids talking to them cause they are glued to their screens. I just find it all very sad nowadays and also for a lot of people, and I mean a lot, very unhealthy. Wasting hours of our day adding up to months/years of our lives on what?

I don’t hate social media in general but I hate people exploiting their child on social media for views/ money , children don’t belong on social media imo

I was a YT creator and blogger years before it was a thing and even I am grossed out by the commodification of people’s lives and every thought. People have asked me to go back to it but it’s so over saturated now! I so agree with this take and I’m 35. Maybe I’m just getting old? But everything should not be shared. There’s no curation or anything. You used to have to have a brand. Now every and anyone has a platform it’s not fun anymore lol

I got rid of it besides fb for marketplace/community posts, tiktok (my daily is like 25min a day) rarely and peanut all the way lol I honestly have the ick of people who are obsessed with social media

Glad I’m not the only one. Ppl will be fake for social media while being a whole other person off of it. I’ve seen ppl change how they look, act, and speak and use that “influencer voice” all for Ppl they don’t even know. It’s crazy. I’ll never allow my kids to have social media probably not until 15-16
