Nobody Actually Quits Social Media

There is no denying that social media has been strategically designed to be addictive. This has in turn caused the masses to develop what is known as social media addiction. In recent years people have decided to fight back against these predatory tactics by quitting social media. However, there lies a fundamental flaw with this movement. See, the truth is people don’t actually quit; instead, they are selective about which social network they choose to interact with. Usually they believe that choosing to stay on YouTube and Reddit is the solution because those platforms are less toxic, but this simply isn’t true all social networks are designed to be addictive. In this video, we will be exploring how social media platforms copy each other, how every social media platform has been designed to keep users addicted, why people should reconsider quitting social media and how we can fight back against the predatory tactics employed by social media companies.
