  • Resumen

  • If you are like me, you wake up every morning and the first thing you do is to grab your smartphone. My ritual is quite straight, I tap on the blue "f" logo to see older friends, relatives, even people I have no idea who they are, get angry and see that they have something to say about pretty much anything.Then, of course, while I’m having breakfast, there is a scroll on Instagram, and then YouTube, then LinkedIn, TikTok, and so on until I’m at my desk ready for work.How crap is this? 0:00 INTRO0:33 YOU ARE THE PRODUCT1:15 WHAT WE DO EVERYDAY1:58 SOCIAL MEDIA NEED CHANGING4:38 HOW ALGOs WORK6:31 MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES8:03 HOW LONG TO USE THEM It is not a secret that social media platforms can get very much addictive to users, profits are prioritized over people.This is a business model where we - people - are exploited and have literally become the product that is feeding the algorithms. The largest social media players are often compared to BigTobacco because their products are addictive and profitable, but ultimately and after all unhealthy for their users. Through their advertising platforms, Facebook and Google, are selling real estate to advertisers for billions of revenues every year.They are always refining and improving their algorithms in order to work effectively to keep us busy for as long as possible and scroll content.Scrolling content means to scroll and click on Ads: Social Media is exposing us to a very high level of advertising.How do the algorithms work? When we scroll through Facebook or Instagram or any other social media, they arrange posts in an order that is customised for us.We are not going to experience the same feed as it is dependent on pertinence rather than distribution time.Social media can cause addictions and harm users' mental health. Some users may become obsessed with following other users and comparing themselves, causing inappropriateness or jealousy. Others develop depression and/or anxiety. For people who use social media for business purposes like myself, the number of hours spent is countless. Then, of course, there is family and kids, but in total honesty I find myself quite often with an iPhone in my hands even though I would be supposed to play with them.This is quite sad.Social media platforms accelerate the intensification and dissemination of conspiracy theories and get the worst out of us, they are able to amplify the most toxic power in our culture. But it’s like chicken and the egg, online rubbish is always on the rise because we consume it, there’s always an audience for it.The Internet is occupied by billions of people and the number can only increase through the digital age.Your thoughts and inflaming expressions are very important for the algorithms, they are fed by that. When we talk about engagement, we talk about just that. How much time should you spend on social media? Some people believe that 5 hours a day on social media won't have negative consequences. However, other experts recognise the importance of spending a reasonable amount of time on social media, but would agree on the fact that more than three hours a day would affect your mental health. But regardless of the number of hours I do agree that less is more and better. Some say that uninstalling social media apps from your phone may be the first step to feel better, in a matter of minutes they say. But I honestly don’t have the courage to do that… and you?
