Will there ever be a day that social media goes away?

[hayesc0]

Nope unless the internet goes away social media is not going anywhere. Humans are social animals.

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

Nah but it's getting kinda wack now everybody on some clout chasing shyt to the point people making over the top posts/videos for fame but be complete lames (or just not ALL THAT) walking down the street.

You're not out of the loop because you still post on the coli, which is a social media

Out the loop with my friends and family.
I don't use social media for strangers or celebs.

The Coli is basically a news source for me for movies TV games music and interviews ...that's why I enjoy it.

You really had people dap that dumbass post too smh

I predict there will be a trend of people disconnecting from social media.

But there is only ONE way that'll happen.

You see, social media is addicting for one reason and it's the same reason why we log into the Coli everyday:

Validation.

Social media is essentially validation in a can.

You can just log on and collect likes which does feel good. Probably has something to do with dopamine.

Even the trolls and simps just get a kick from the attention of their victim.

The only way social media goes away is if people stop giving value to the validation they get from it

or the sites take away the ability to give/receive said validation.

Imagine the Coli without reps and daps. It keeps us in line and keeps us coming back.

The only people left would be the ones actually interested in a particular topic.

Eh I don’t know about that bruh. I don’t come on here for validation...I come just to see fukkery.

I don’t have Twitter, Snapchat,or Facebook & I only have like 4 pics on IG. I mainly go on there for news

Breh, this shyt is only gonna get worse. In Asia they starting to walk around with social scores, in the future people will be able to judge your life off rip

I don't have time for that social media shyt because I'm too busy facing reality. My reality isn't bad but it ain't good either. It's painful to be honest. That is something I can't avoid. It hurts me to know that I can't even be real with other people and etc because they're too busy being fake and want me to help them live a lie to make them feel comfortable. My life has always been uncomfortable because I've had to be in situations outside of my comfort zone. Being real for some reason bothers them. It angers me because I remember back in high school, there were a few people that actually understood why I was the way I was at the time and the people that didn't get it were the fake and the frauds. Now you have a whole bunch of fake people lying to themselves and everybody trying to make the real people seem like they're crazy. So a guy like me is a weirdo to them when I'm not being open or living like them.

Im not interested in posting photos of myself for someones attention who thinks a like counts as socializing, showing photos of where I'm at indicating how lonely I am, saying my thoughts and views because I have nobody to tell them to and basically begging people to actually know me. I been there and done that and it wasn't worth it. I felt a lot worse like here I am still feeling socially isolated around people who can see me posting but only care about themselves. Like when I was using fakebook, I had people that only added me as their friend because they needed people to make themselves seem larger than life. Not because they wanted to know them. I REFUSE to be someone's ego boost or feed someones narcissism. I need REAL people around me because I'm dealing with real shyt.

That's what I was talking about.

When you take away the validation, all you're left with is people who are actually interested in a specific thing or have an actual purpose.

My only purpose for social media is to talk to women. Some people use it to keep up with their old friends. Or even to promote something.

That's what social media was made for. The validation, however, is what keeps some people coming back.

You thought you were special by not having social media when you're not. I obviously triggered you too because you never thought about an Internet forum being a social media :RussellMartBrook:
How stupid can you be :RussellMartBrook:

 

[Jasonmask]

Not gonna lie, it’s depressing af to walk on a train or room and see literally everyone just head down on the phone, acting like shyt is really important on there not to live in the now. I hate this era but at least us social brehs have an advantage or do we seem like most people lost they social skills being on social media too much.

 

[Shorty K]

Man who do yall fw that's depressed like that? Everyone on my social media is living their best lives

I do not think I'm special because I still use Twitter and the coli and I know both of those are social media wish. Difference is...they're anonymous and I just use them to keep up with current events.

You are just dumb for assuming I was talking about being in the loop with General news and celebrity gossip.

I am just literally saying I am out of the loop when it comes to friends and family and what goes on in their lives because I don't have social media

You just shouldn't have assumed

Web forums are NOT social media. Apparently, you are new to what a message board is. Web forums been around way longer than social media has been. The big difference is that Web forums are about privacy and the anonymity of its users. Big difference.

Web forums are the oldest form of social media. Apparently you're new to the Internet
