The only people I see posting are older people who have 0 idea how this shit works and too innocent (or dumb) to believe anything they see on the internet.
People post on social media to seek social acceptance. Even here and this very comment serves this purpose. But seeking this, is pointless.
I don't think there is any use in reducing all internet conversations to just seeking social acceptance. you could just apply that to all conversations whatsoever. then why speak with others, and why go out of the house, it's all just seeking fame or whatever right?
I don't think it works that way.
Eightfold path, my dude.
By design. Can't have the people talking too much, or they'll get ideas about worker's unions.
Haha, the completely contrasting emotions of "Emotions experienced when not checking messaging apps for an extended period of time" are quite poignant. Peace or anxiety, take your pick.
Finally!
I don't think I've every given a status update. Unless telling people I'm playing a game with that I gotta go piss is a status update.
