Yes, a smartphone with no social media pplication installed is as much dumb as a classic flip phone. The object itself is not the problem here.

I am not a big social media user so I use mine mostly to check in with family and friends, listen to music, mapping, and tracking sports. On the rare occasions I use Instagram I just follow some athletes and share a couple of memes with friends, then after 10 minutes I am nauseated by it.
