I think social media was a good idea in theory because it's a single place you can go to get news and commentary on your favorite topics by following specific people of interest. But it pretty much turned into a worthless cesspool of divisiveness where you can't escape the constant bombardment of personal politics and lunacy. I just deactivated my Twitter account because it actually became a stress in my life. The double standard makes it even worse.
The only reason I haven't deactivated my Facebook account is because it's the only means I have to stay in contact with a few hundred people I have known since I was a kid all the way through every job I ever had. I just visit once in awhile and stay out of the fray.
I wish they'd all go out of business. On a net basis, they've probably been bad for the country.
