I'm in the same boat as you, and feel equally strongly about it, despite being in a bit of a relapse period at the moment.

"The medium is the message" never stops being relevant. The 'content' of social media is just the 'reward' mechanism for your engagement.

This is the fourth (?) time on HN I've recommended "Amusing Ourselves to Death" by Neil Postman. If you're a reader, I think you might enjoy it. It is both descriptive of its time in the age of Television, and incredibly prescient. It has aged flawlessly, you can draw a straight line from it to our modern, socially mediated world.
