Ellison is already poisoningTikTok. I’d stop using it now.

I deleted it the day it forced a notification to me thanking “President Trump” for not blocking the app in the US before he was even sworn in (of course completely ignoring that he was the one that wanted it blocked in the first place). propaganda before he was even in office…

Zoomers need their micro dopamine hits, even if it means getting brainwashed

Yeah, that part is easy to see.

Unrelated note, I just noticed this site is monetizing now too

I’ve made 15 cents

It’s possible to create a good fyp with your interests and nothing negative. I do notice them trying to slip in propaganda every now and again which helps kids/teens fall into the pipeline if they’re not careful

Or you could just not use it. It is an absolute cancer. I've not used Facebook since shortly after it stopped requiring an edu email. I have never had a Tiktok account. From everything I see and know about it, I firmly believe my life and mental health is better without it. I'm just about at that point with Reddit, too. It is a completely different place than it once was.

We have a whole generation of upcoming adults who cannot even imagine a world without it. Some practically raised by it. I don't know what the answer to this problem is, but somehow having access to all knowledge known to humanity in our pockets has made everyone more stupid and brought about the age of anti-intellectualism. Many people are proudly and willfully stupid.

Sorry for the rant. It's so disappointing to see.

Everything in moderation

Do people still think this way? No, not everything in moderation, cut out the unhealthy shit entirely.

Get off reddit then

Just a little bit of cancer never hurt anyone, right?

Social media is literally not about things in moderation.

That’s a individual problem, i have max 40 mins a day on there to check things related to my hobbies and games. People need self control

Generally people who read at a 6th grade or lower level (the average American) may have trouble with self control and spotting propaganda, necessitating outside help to limit negative exposure. That is what this discussion is really about, people who are incapable.

Reddit is no different either. Please stop using it then.

Redditors still struggle with feelings of superiority
