Take a moment and reflect: how much of your social media feed is actually filled with content that adds value to your life—deep thoughts, insightful ideas, and meaningful discussions? Now, how much of it is selfies, pictures of models, memes, and adorable puppies? The real concern here is the dramatic decline in the quality and depth of what we’re consuming.
Thanks to social media, we’re constantly distracted by things that are, more often than not, irrelevant and lack any real substance. We’re spending less time engaging with culture, knowledge, and learning, and more time lost in an endless scroll of entertainment that, while fun, doesn’t exactly nurture our minds.
Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m not knocking lighthearted fun or silly videos. I’m simply worried about how much of that frivolous content is taking over the space where deeper, more meaningful content should be.
