As an older woman, I spend zero time on TikTok and Instagram. Even FB and X are off my menu. I have other things to do. But this survey of what's happening there is even worse than I imagined. The gross commercialization of almost all media is not only soul sucking and bank account draining, but also hurting the planet. This is an important wake up call. I hope those affected most can hear it!!!
It reminds me a little of what Medium CEO Tony Stubblebine said recently re: this platform, and the ills it is trying to address: https://medium.com/blog/be-part-of-a-better-internet-5c4aa58ec826
