Maybe learn how social media works before commenting on how it’s the same as video games and movies because they are not the same. That’s like saying energy drinks and heroine are similar and should be handled the same, it’s a ridiculous thing to think.
So you believe I dont' know how social media works, because I don't agree with you? That's very childish of you. They are the same. Social media is nothing more than intertainment and a source of information (factual and non factual), just like movies, video games, etc. (not the information side of course). They all feed off of the same basic element(s) that are engrained into society. Why do you think we have so many Call of Duty's, Battlefield, and other continuations of so many games out there, along with new games being designed constantly? Why do we have so many sequals and remakes of movies, TV shows? Why do people flock to the new star wars franchies releases or Star trek releases. Why do people fight over Star Wars and Star Trek? Why do people care about their place on the Score board in FPS games, or their K/D ratio? Why did you spend years playing Minecraft? (Oh come on, admit it, you did, and you know it). And lets not even get into World of Warcaft. Why do people have to see the latest movie release, and then fight over their movie choices, there music choices, or make fun of people because of those choice and opinions?
The big question you have to ask yourself, is why have all of those been blamed for the problems in society, claimed that people get addicted to them, that they are bad for kids/aduilts, etc? It's happened to music, tv/movies, video games, many other forms of entertainment, and now social media. What's going to be blamed next? Or are we going to actually look at the real cause and placing the blame where it belongs, which is the starting point of actually fixing the problem?
