In 2022 nearly half of Americans expected a civil war in the next few years, one in five now believes political violence is justified. And it is not just the US but around the world. People increasingly see themselves as part of opposing teams.
There are many different reasons for this, but one gets blamed a lot: social media. Social media divides us, makes us more extreme and less empathetic, it riles us up or sucks us into doom scrolling, making us stressed and depressed. It feels like we need to touch grass and escape to the real world.
New research shows that we might have largely misinterpreted why this is the case. It turns out that the social media internet may uniquely undermine the way our brains work but not in the way you think.

The most annoying thing is being acutely aware of all of this and seeing it happen without any agency whatsoever.

My mom always taught me that it's no one person's responsibility to fix the world, but it's everyone's responsibility to not make it worse.

Deleted all my social media off my phone. Deleted YouTube as an app. I still have access to it, but I force myself to have to hop on my computer in order to see what I want to. Works like a charm, Iβm happier and now I have more time for the things Iβm interested in.

also, social media has created an atmosphere where real world issues become incredibly easy to digest and know about, expanding the amount of information that our brains can handle at once. videos about wars, genocide, and other gruesome things that are so easily accessible to people of all ages changes the way our brains grow and think, and can make those who are naturally more empathetic depressed and anxious about the world around us. I grew up in this generation without remembering a whole world without social media, and I can say that our brains are not meant to function by feeling every single negative thing this world has. itβs overwhelming.

βUnfortunately, your brain is stupidβ
I 100% agree. Thank you Kurzgesagt.

I find it absolutely bizarre that parents are willing to put an iPad or phone in a baby's face and let them scroll endlessly through TikTok. I genuinely worry about what this effect will have on future generations.

I think the worst thing about social media is when you begin to realize how narcissistic and egotistical people become when they're behind a screen. You ironically see more flaws in humanity despite only seeing people's highlight reels.

it's really terrifying when you realize that you spent a good chunk of your life trapped in a virtual world, i'm not mature enough for the real world, it's frightening to me...

I can't believe my nostalgia for the old internet is actually justified
I miss when each website catered to a niche. It made it so much easier to interact with higher quality content and creations.

"One model that seemed to work well was the pre social media internet OLD people might remember."

Great video, and I enjoyed the ad at the end.

The curse of the internet is having to know what I don't need to know, and be angry abouth things I don't need to be angry about.

Social media is like a text message, any comments/messages can be misinterpreted because there is no tone. Face to face communication always kept things in check. People dropped friends and family over social media posts and itβs hilariously sad

Had this problem when I was stuck inside for a few years and didn't really socialize IRL.
Then when I got a job and talked to a lot of people I was extremely pleasantly surprised that people are actually normal.
Being perpetually online, or even just thinking that the online world is representative of the real one, is such a hellish trap, and you might not even realize it.

I'm glad someone is acknowledging this. Exploring the internet has become more stressful and discouraging to me lately because of people' behavior and attitude, and all the negativity, propaganda, and algorithmic curation that's constantly being pushed.

A drama is currently unfolding in a fandom i love, and i am of the opinion that is widely considered the "wrong one" within that drama. All the fighting and all the opinions were genuinely stressing me out so much... And i don't think YouTube could have recommended me a better video. It genuinely resonates with me so much. Maybe it's because it gives me a logical reason as to WHY I'm so upset about this... But it's like I'm getting closure. So, thanks for making me feel slightly better about this whole thing.

This is why I deleted Tik Tok and Instagram, only kept snapchat to message friends and only use youtube for informational videos. Once I started spending my time reading, going outside and practicing self care, I found self love and feel smarter.

I remember loving forums or sites with "affiliate" banners, you could jump site to site! Social media was a mistake

Spot on! The internet truly embodies a mix of blessing and curse, all rolled into one. Itβs a perfect example of how something can be so incredibly useful and yet so challenging at the same time.

Thats why I deleted Twitter, It started to make me very angry and even racist. I kinda miss it now but Im much happier.
