TikTok, Instagram Reels, and other Social Media pushing the boundaries of human decency and morality

Jeez, that is indeed scary. However, I still think it's just their immature mind 'cause teens are just stupid (I'm still in high school too and stupidity is real in my peers). It's that phase of life where we could have "fun". Social media is really boosting this idiotic thinking considering how instant various information that one can consume in a matter of minutes. I think it's important to cultivate a filter in our heads to really reduce this kind of flipped up thinking. Critical thinking is at utter importance in today's day and age.

 

TikTok is the worse. Apparently, the Chinese version of it is a lot more serious videos on subjects such as science and maths meanwhile in the West most videos are dance and misinformation. It's like the Chinese government is using TikTok to dumb down the West. At least with the other social media companies they're American and can have more restrictions placed on them.

Still, other social media is bad. When I use it I feel angry and want to fight with people. Most of the time I ignore the desire but I have said things that have hurt other people. Another thing it does is affect concentration. I've seen it with family members when I watch a movie with them. Most of my family cannot sit through an entire movie without going on their phones. It's quite something that people can't even concentrate on a movie nowadays. I think it's affected my ability to focus too so I've decided to limit my time on social media to eight weeks a year.

 

Easy solution: delete.
Make new youtube account, get the algorithm and that's it.

because people can earn money and attention from controversy. more controversial your content or comment, more reaction you will get. people who like attention or money, make those comments or content to get more interaction. when they get more interaction, they get even more controversial. and someone else realizing this and they make controversial content too. and then people are watching these controversial clips and comments think that this is actually normal. because you can make people believe in anything with repetative exposure. also I always felt like people who are in power doesn't want you to become healthy. call me conspriaacy theorist or whatever but we have seen that conspriacy theorists were right in certain things. I feel like some of these apps pushing those content on purpose. but like I said it is also because anger and controversy cause more reaction from people.

I have a theory and maybe I am wrong. but in the future, people will get way more cruel. like I think we will have torture shows of criminals. because young generation is raising with cruelty. and the other generation will be even more exposed to this kind of things. generation to generation, and I think they will use criminals for entertainment purposes. but like I said this is just a theory and maybe I am just streching it. but watch black mirror-white bear justice park episode. I think it will be real
