Some 'slave wage' person spending their time to produce crap that wastes other people's time. All to increase a number on some CEO's dashboard.

Same workers could instead be building actually useful stuff, up their skillset, contribute to their country's culture, etc etc.

One does not have to use social media or be exposed to that crap. The nice info is easier than ever to reach.

If you start to think of information as code you run through your brain, you may want to select and sanitize what you run. Because in the end, what you read triggers what you think/feel, which influence what you do.
