Why is it that despite normies now agreeing that social media is bad for society none of them are capable to just.... stop using it?

I had instagram for 2 weeks and got badly addicted, it was affecting me mentally as well as wasting a lot of my time. I uninstalled it, ended up reinstalling it a couple times, but after another 2 weeks I just uninstalled it for good and haven't gone back.

It seems part of common culture now that social media is full of "brain rot", that it's ruining society, that it's bad for the self esteem of girls..... so why does everyone keep using it??

>Why is it that despite normies now agreeing that social media is bad for society none of them are capable to just.... stop using it?
>normies agreeing
Normies say they agree with whatever the popular opinion of the day happens to be. That doesn't actually mean they've thought about it or intend to do anything. If Facebook and all of the other social media sites spend a couple solid weeks on a marketing blitz they'll have the normies once again claiming that anyone not on social media is menace to society. Don't put too much stock into what the middle 60% of the country thinks. Wait a week and they'll think something else.

weak-minded normies are being enslaved by corporations with addictive shit? why i never

>uninstalled
so you still have it, normie
>>
>>108272528
Because social media is the latest scapegoat that normies use to blame all the world's problems on like Epstein in order to avoid the fact that the main thing making the world worse is them, the normies.

Blaming social media is so funny to me, too. Like, what do you think social media is made up of?

uninstall is not delete. normies won't delete their social media profiles. just an observation.
>>
>>108272615
I suppose you could argue its algo based nature is toxic and it's built in a reward system that makes it addictive. Personally I'm pretty against algo bullshit anyway.

I mean the only "social media" I use is Discord, which is just fancy IRC so I'm only really talking to small groups of people I'm familiar with rather than instagram or Facebook.

Brain rot is nothing new. The so-called "Age of Irony" had a lot of it.

Normie brains crave emotional stimulation, which they previously got from socializing. Now it's on tap 24/7 and the emotions can swap from happy to sad to angry within seconds of watching new content.

They weren't capable of using it when Snowden told them that they were being monitored by secret police while on it, they're not going to stop now that it's asking for their ID and trying to steal their attention spans.

You're looking at the behavior of drug addicts

Lurking is as addictive as having an active profile so it doesn't change much, no?

This
all they have to do is say "FOR DA CHILLUNS" or "NATIONAL SECURITY CHYNA" and they'll be back to being putty in their palms.

it's like the thing with Anthropic the other day. Most normalfags now believe it's OK for the government to just seize any assets it deems a national security asset. They would force their kids to sign up for boomerbook if Trump stood on a podium and said "I NEED YOU TO BE ON FACEBOOK TO FIGHT CHYYYYNAAAAA"

That's just amplification. Normie world is toxic and horrible, so the algo amplifies it.

Not to mention that most of the "we must kill social media" shit is mostly just libtards desperately trying to censor the internet in a last bid for control.

I got addicted to opioids and was able to quit, but I've never been able to quit wasting time online. I may have been a bit early, but zoomers seem to be in for a world of pain with all the parasocial stuff that's gotten normalized. Then again, they're probably a lot better off than I think and I'm just in my bubble. But I wish I lived before the internet, or at least that it wasn't there during my formative years when I should have been developing actual social skills.

Because all this "social media is...le bad!' is just manufactured consent for digital ID laws, for the children of course!

Preindustrial: 0-10 was childhood, but you'd be expected to work starting from 5-6
19th century: 0-12 was childhood, but labor 7-8 was common (here we start seeing child labor laws minimum age of 9, with restricted working hours before 13. Note we are in the victorian era where it's considered a status symbol to have children that don't work)
early 20th century: 0-14 was childhood, labor laws moved to 14 minimum (, compulsory schooling til 14.
late 20th century: 0-18 was childhood, labor laws still 14, but with heavy restrictions, permits , defacto is 18
early 21th century: 0-21 is childhood, restricted from certain jobs (nightwork, hazard work, alcohol/gambling related) and from buying certain drugs.
Young people are delaying marriage, parenthood and moving out. You will live through 25 and probably 30 year old children.

You being a late bloomer in an era where we have access to unlimited high quality information doesn't imply that other need to be oppressed. Hamilton worked as a clerk for a merchant at 11 and still had enough time to study law and help found that great country.

The BBC is essentially a propaganda tool used to justify authoritarian policy-making. A lot of what they report on boils down to "people are worried about this thing and want the government to do something about it". We are literal sheep, it's unreal.

I am a 23 yo zoomer, and i had instagram years ago when it was a fountain of 15 yo pussy. I loved it but only used it to bait the prey for mounting. Now i have no social media, the only apps on my phone are vlc for music and firefox that just sits there just in case. And some other garbage that i barely use. I cannot stand to use any of these socials, they disgust me. I have a full local mirror of arch linux on my pc and the only glowware i use is rocket league and steam for it. In future that will be purged too.

i think in some ways its a lot harder to kick computer/internet based addictions/bad habits.
since the normal way of kicking a bad habit involves removing yourself from the environment and making it as hard as possible to relapse.
but we're pretty much required to spend all our time on the web these days so the slop is never more than a couple of clicks away.

still don't think people can absolve themselves of responsibility though

>>108275360
id make the argument that all increasing childhood age does is make people children for longer.
since IMO becoming an adult is an adaptive process in response to the responsibility you face.
suppose Hamilton started doing grown-up stuff at 11 so that's when he stopped clowning around and actually became an adult
i think its the same with socialism and the welfare state, if people believe that their welfare is someone else's responsibility then they will never grow up. i think that's why there are so many adult-children these days

basically how I see it is it's gonna be so easy for your kids to be superior to their peers if you put in a little effort into their upbringing
