Do you feel like you are losing yourself the more you become social? In this episode I am here to give you a good ol conspiracy theory about social media....
show moreIn this episode I am here to give you a good ol conspiracy theory about social media. Yep it's the part we just don't talk about often enough when it comes to social media. I mead the "dark side" of social media.
So what does the "dark side" of social media actually mean? It's the realisation that our social media accounts are running us, rather than us running them. Yes a realisation that an algorithm is most likely running your life. You see this algorithm has a job. That job is to show you what you like, but to also get you in a highly emotional state so that you are primed and ready to.... buy. Yep your good sense of self and self worth is being baited and manipulated so that you can make a purchase... now! And if you don't now, it's OK your data will be collected and you will be retargeted later so no biggie.
Yes it's something we don't want to face. We are so busy with pre-sets and finding the perfect picture or quote that we don't want to face what our attention to these platforms really mean.
I have been so lucky to discover people like Jaron Lanier who can expose this side of social media from inside of the tech world. But if you don't know anything about that or are not familiar with anything I am talking about right here then buckle your seat belt because we are about to go on a journey!
