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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 think another problem is how, during covid, the internet/social media switched from being something we all use when we want to use it to being something we're all dependent on for work, school, communicating with others, etc. i honestly feel like everything becoming more convenient by being able to do it all on the internet has kinda changed how we live everyday life for the worse

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.

Social media makes you even angry at people irl, thinking they're constantly biased and against your opinions and makes you be defensive all the time. When you talk to real people in real life in real places, you realize people are not that evil or aggressive (except for some crazy people out there) and you can actually cooperate with them even if you don't share any opinions because they're actually normal people who are not that extreme. Call it facade, call it whatever, but it's safer outside than inside social media.

The worst thing about this is even if you are trying to better society it will only work if everyone is on the same page as you

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.

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.

This ending really got to me. I miss the "old internet" so much, even extinct social networks (like orkut) were more community-focused. The internet was supposed to be a giant library, not an endless street market, with everyone shoving products in your face.

Social media always makes me angry especially instegram and YouTube short it's just full of toxic people that try to advertise their political views that I don't give a damn about
