Some people want social media to be a force for political change and social justice. I think this is a mistake and goes beyond what those platforms are suitable for.

Personally I just want to share my photography with friends. Social media works great for that. I'll probably never quit.

It works great if you only care about the short term moment of sharing. The technology is all there to make something superior to the family photo album but marking everything for eventual deletion makes it an inferior medium. Everything is designed to get rid of your words and images as soon as the content stops serving a party with motivations not aligned with the user. People tend to think their unique experiences and unique perspective is not worth anything but the sum of those billions might be the most important thing we've ever owned.
