This is a reply to Ava's recent post where she asked about the thoughts on this question.
When I read that line, I thought about the ugliness of the internet in terms of exploiting social networking algorithms. I used to be a technology geek who was always updated with new gadgets, internet tools, and God-forbidden social networks. Luckily, I realized a couple of years ago that this was not what I had signed up for, and I quit all of them for good. Since then, life has never been better. I am exploring and learning so many new things about myself and the world, which would be impossible if I wasted my time on micro-blogging platforms.
Sadly, the majority of people around me, including my own family members, are stuck in this trap. Even when they notice about their screen time (not for the same reasons Ava mentioned), it is hard for them to quit because these algorithms manipulate people on deeper psychological levels.
It is a sad reality that the whole society is negatively affected by a few evil companies, and that's not my internet.
