I saw it.
Though I was going to be affected by it more, but it's the same message I've told myself since I firs got social media and here i am still. Also capitalism sucks, yes indeedĀ
I kind of know many of things about it.
like I did stop posting on social media 3 years ago bc it was bullshit and affected me to much, but like I thought ofc they stalk us so they can recommend us similar things but the movie just made it sound that brutal and I'm afraid I will get affected by fake information too much bc I already have.
and it made me realize how much what I see there affects my reality and other people don't have that reality like it said.Ā
I was thinking a lot and I just got deeper and deeper and now I see how much it has changed everything.
I feel like the movie just explained it and that it carried with its rather impersonal, robotic vibe that it is since it is a system aimed at profit and such. Personally, however, the algorithms are about to go tear my nerves out for being terrible. The part about literally just getting content that reinstates your belief is truly the bubble my accounts currently exist in. I barely find anything different in discovering pages, etc. and it's boring.
Also, since I live with my twin sister who barely goes on social media, the difference between how we view the world is actually quite big. And I think a lot of that can be contributed to what I consume online v. what she doesn't. On good and bad, I guess.Ā
What are some of the things you mean have happened to "change everything?" I mostly meant how I felt or what happened with me. I was 13 when I started to use social media and it was fun as stuff for awhile but along these years it just became part of me somehow like everything about me comes from there. I'm not that good at explaining things but maybe you understand what I mean.
