If social media platforms weren’t necessary for my work, or I didn’t need them to stay in contact with friends, family and work contacts, I’d probably have ditched the worst offenders, if not all by now.
I appreciate they need to make their money through advertising, but I’d love the option to choose to see only what I follow or subscribe to. Everything else is an endless cesspit of where good content goes to drown. Fake news and propaganda, endless spam videos, stolen content recycled, AI posts that haven’t been checked and click bait that makes my brain itch. But, you only get to see that once you have sifted through vacuous wannabes, the look-at-me and the desperate for validation.
