Your point is very valid. I know I would certainly have less awareness of global topics if social media didn't exist (and I don't even use it that much). Social media is definitely contributing to mental health issues too. Do you think social media is net positive? Or do you think there is an alternative method by which the negative effect can be mitigated?

I think we're stuck with it no matter what so we better develop better ways to deal with its existence regardless.
