This has been on my mind a lot in 2019. She summed it up very nicely. In my opinion - the problem is that the internet used to be a fun hobby but now it's a job or a requirement for a job or just a requirement. You can't really quit the internet - not if you intend to function in society.
Honestly didn’t realize I felt this way until I read that. We need social networks that actually allow you to meet people, not compete with your friends for likes. It’s not the same because the social networks are focused more on consumption than creation.
