My younger son "quite social media" quite a few years ago (just after getting out of HS) & I thought he was nuts, because ALL of his peers are on it & use it a bunch. after a few months, he didn't miss it even a little bit. in fact he rarely used his phone as well (TXT, email, etc).
I followed did the same thing (Save for here), & I gotta say........... I dont miss it either. I would REALLY like my wife to get off of it.... it brings her stress & it pains me to see it in her.
I think the social media problem is huge. if you have not seen it, watch "the social dilemma" on netflix. take that & extrapolate what this means in terms of the quality of human traits. It is actually surprising to me how much people still do social media (& electronics as a whole). there are now real studies out that show how bad it is for adults & how terrible it is for kids...........
& IMO, this all goes to the original question...........
