Stop Talking to Each Other and Start Buying Things: Three Decades of Survival in the Desert of Social Media

I bet you're wondering how we got here...

Welcome to Garbagetown

@shortstack @catvalente I finally got back to this to read it, it got me so hard! This line especially described that unrelenting pressure!

"Stop benefitting from the internet, it’s not for you to enjoy, it’s for us to use to extract money from you. Stop finding beauty and connection in the world, loneliness is more profitable and easier to control."

So, stop buying and start talking to people! Love it 💕✊

when the light soft & beautiful things fade so do the folks who cherished it that way💛
