Yes, I was almost going to make an addendum, I do t think social media is all bad /worthless either. Mostly bad, but that is sort of the situation with anything lol. I think social media usage (including my own lol) is far too excessive compared to the benefits.

Reddit (mostly) killing forums is a crisis lol. I'm glad some have survived tho, and pockets of the internet see it as preferable. I'd love to see a return.

Are forums 'social media'? 🤔 I think they sort of are/were.

Yeah I think anything that has regular user generated content e.g, forum, BBS, newsgroup etc is social media, whereas blogs, news websites, netflix etc are not.

It's always funny when they show those studies that say "actually social media isn't harmful at all" and I think hmm, it seems to have literally destroyed all social occasions. I never use social media on my phone so end up staring at the back of peoples phones.
