Introducing so-called smart, algorithmic feeds to social media many years ago was not progress. It was open disrespect toward users. It was basically a message: we will decide what you see, what you think about, what gets your attention — and you will take it. That was the moment social media started to rot. Not only the platforms themselves, but the whole idea behind them. From there it got worse: less freedom, less real choice, less direct human connection, more manipulation dressed up as convenience. And people accepted it. That is the worst part. They got used to being fed garbage and called it normal.
I never had much to do with big-tech social media because from the start it felt false and rotten. I used it a little during one year at university, mostly because it was hard not to, then dropped it. I left university too. The modern education system is flawed, inefficient, and I wanted no part of it. That was over ten years ago, and I have never regretted choosing my own way.
Freedom and independence are not easy, but they are worth it. Harder life, maybe — but cleaner. More effort, but also more truth. What you build is yours. And most important: real experience, full spectrum of all colors, covered with the highest reason, that is one of best values to us, humans.
