My life after quitting social media

Or if I can put it in one sentence: I don't want to consume the life of others. I want to create a life worth consuming.

Merzbow has an ironicly titled song name: "Become the discovered, not the discoverer"

Yeah I'm still exploring the noise scene so if you have any recommends please do share.

I never thought I would be able to work through the music, but damn there are some really good entries in the genre.

I don't think that is the summary, because a main focus of the post is that social media makes you do things that others thing are "worth consuming", so you can post it for others to consume.

In this context, is consume the same thing as follow?

There's something about the use of consume in this way that has always bugged me.

Well put. My only social media connection was via Twitter, which I quit a month ago. This states the motivation, and the resulting benefit, succinctly.

A life worth consuming on social media?

A life worth living. It doesn't have to be Instagram worthy.

Aren’t lives worth living a subset of Instagram worthy lives?
