CMV: Social media is a plague and the worst thing that has ever happened to humanity.

Social media has been the most destructive thing to happen to humanity, and every single social media platform is a terrible place. <br><br>Discord is a hub for obsessively online people to create echo chambers that rarely ever exit their own little spaces. They have 0 interaction with the outside world and only know how to interact with people through discord. I know many people like this and they are all extremely weird and socially inept.<br><br>Twitter is a shithole of constant politics. It doesn’t matter if you are on Twitter to follow your favourite comedian, or your favorite animator, you will get swamped with politics from people you don’t care about. It is also an absolute haven for one-liner celebrities to voice their political opinion, which is somehow more worthy than yours because a bunch of people watched the movie they were in. It is also a breeding ground for shitheads like ‘E’ from r/redscarepod. Also, the fact that people can just make a tweet out of *anything* and get 10,000 likes is absolutely laughable to me. It’s a terrible, terrible site that rarely ever offers any substance at all. <br><br>Instagram is league of its own because of how it affects people’s attitudes towards their own life. Everyone on instagram is fake. They only post the best parts of their life. They post the best parts of their holiday, how great their dog is, how wonderful their partner is, how good they look, how much they exercise, how much money they have. How great their whole life is overall. People see all of this and they are expected to live in this unattainable life? A life where everything goes well all the time? Do people seriously think that that is how life is supposed to go for everyone? Tons of people struggle to make ends meet, plenty of people have diseases, plenty of people have issues over unfaithful partners, plenty of people have bad addictions, plenty of people have bad relationships with their families, there are tons of different problems that people struggle with, and a shit ton of people struggle with tonnes of different problems and issues, and they are expected to live a perfect life just because their favourite celebrity is going on a yacht in Greece this week? It’s like everyone is trying to be something they are not. No one is allowed to have a bad day without going to therapy for the next 20 years. Instagram makes me sick to my stomach. <br><br>Chambers is just filled to the brim with lonely people. Lonely, lonely people, just posting and talking to other lonely people on Reddit. When Chambers is at its best, it is people having discussions with strangers. At its worst, it is people posting their problems and getting reassurance, having a little lonely sesh with the internet. It’s just sad. <br><br>Pinterest, I don’t know what the fuck that is. It’s probably the same as Instagram in terms of all the unattainable expectations that that platform has, but I’ve never been on it.<br><br>Facebook is another politics haven. Just swarms of apolitical people who hold echo chamber political views spouting their opinion out everywhere. <br><br>Tiktok, like Insta, is just terrible because of all of the unattainable expectations that it sets. Tons of people posting what their life is like, and it’s always great. Tons of people are lonely and sad, why are people not allowed to post about that? Why is Tik Tok just a place for people to post all of the good things about their lives, and if they’re not, it’s a ‘joke’. The fact that ‘joke’ sad Tik Tok videos are so popular shows just how sad and lonely everyone is. <br><br>I just have a terrible feeling about all of social media, I hate it, and it is one of the worst things that has ever happened to the human race. <br><br>cmv. <br><br>Edit: Wow this blew up. Thank you for the awards.
