Kyle Chayka is Right, "Social [Control] Media" is Toxic, Better Off Avoided
Several years ago this site quit all social control media, even the 'free' (as in freedom) social control media.
"As social control media has become older, more manipulable, and more automated by artificial intelligence, flouting online popularity has gained a new cachet," said an article this week. The title of that article is "It’s Cool to Have No Followers Now" (by Kyle Chayka).
It is part of "Kyle Chayka’s weekly column on how technology shapes culture."
We strongly recommend the same to everybody; quit social control media and you won't miss anything substantial. Generally speaking, all social control media is nothing but a waste of time and a net negative. █
