Your attention/time is scarce 🤨
It's the most valuable thing in our short little lives, it affects your health and your wealth.
Social Media on its own is rather quite empowering because it allows people to build up networks that would otherwise be impossible. Attention dedicated to it is well-deserved.
However at present, the ability for anyone to build those networks are at the whims of companies that control the platforms beholden to their advertisers and/or investors. Rather than building towards empowering people, they measure success in eyeball-to-tap ratio, aka engagement. When the measure to success is for the sake of bullshit metrics......it feeds the idea that attention becomes bullshit too
