Humans need to take self-accountability for choosing to engage with prior forms of social media. They CHOOSE to go online & allow the algorithms to manipulate them.

Many are addicted to dopamine hits given by various responses: comments, likes, rage baiting & even cruelty.

Agree that algorithms have caused more harm with targeted brain manipulation & brainwashing. Still, humanity needs to admit they took part in it. Said as one who warned others for MANY years. 🫡

Whiles zaps ⚡️ are good financially I do question how it will change brain chemistry ⚛️ in the future.

Very true, I can't deny that a like or some other reaction doesn't tickle my dopamine levels either. Never thought about the long-term implications of zaps yet though. Super interesting!

Respect 🫡 friend. It’s what the studies show. I believe most can think of at least one person who this is applicable to below 👇

It’s from a dream & messages I sent to my family years ago. Note, I’ve had prophetic dreams lifelong so it’s not abnormal for me. Not a tech person but learned enough to check my hypothesis. 😂

It’s not a “young man’s” loneliness that’s the problem. It’s lack of love. Many ages & generations feel unloved & seek it via online media & likes. On Twitter there are many “bots”

People get dopamine boosts when they feel another “person” reacts to what they said. Both good and bad. If someone engages they accept they are special.

“Having too much dopamine — or too much dopamine concentrated in some parts of the brain and not enough in other parts — is linked to being more competitive, aggressive and having poor impulse control. It can lead to conditions that include ADHD, binge eating, addiction and gambling.”

The issue is many of those “people” on Twitter etc. are not actual people. They are AI generated bots that appear to be people.

It’s basically a network system.

One human creates alternate personas & reacts as such. I’ve been using AI to show how easy it can be replicated on a massive scale.

This has been done to distribute information online in record speeds.

Are you a bot? 😂

I’m the reason Jack Dorsey never got married. So probably. 😂

And if course you always get me with They Live references 😁

I’m so bad with most references. Will watch 😂

Yes please! This one is cheesy but essential

Definitely will. Thanks 🙏

FWIW: I literally had to go back to someone’s account earlier to find this guy I just learned of & wanted to find again:

That man’s name is: Kendrick Lamar

But I’ve met multiple famous people in my lifetime and had no idea until much later. 😂🤣🙏
