I didn't say it was, I'm saying that social media is the accelerant in an already raging dumpster fire that is society today. When information on any level is available almost instantaneous, it creates for a larger appetite and requiremnts to satisfy it.

There is only a finite amount of resources (unless you are part of the 1% of the 1%) and if it is spent on friviousl things, then is there really any surprise that people are getting phased out?


Basically, it's Darwinism at it's finiest: Environmental pressures (Society) is forcing an organism ( people) to decide to either be the ant or be the grasshopper....and unfortunately a lot of people are following the footsteps of the grasshopper. In case you don't know the story of the Ant and Grasshopper
