For me it’s input. I have a continually thinking mind that feels that I must have something to say on anything. Whenever I’ve gotten rid of a Reddit account or took even a day or two off from activity on the internet. I had an itch to say something whenever something is reported or something I’ve seen while browsing that peaked my interest.
And I feel I have to say something on it, even if small. But yet I try to restrain myself from doing so because of how manufactured social media has become today.
It’s gotten a little better, mainly because you know, after registering so many accounts for so long and having to upkeep so many. It is tiring to do for me so I think I’m finally slowing down from that to where this issue won’t nearly be as big as it once was.
Nobody can help feel like a salesman or an evangelist for trying to get some people to go elsewhere that is a net positive for their sanity or privacy.
I’ve stopped trying to convince people to give up Facebook. If they’re gonna be on it and want to be glued to it, then fine. I just don’t want to hear anyone cry about how they haven’t heard from me for X amount of time because I was the one that decided to delete or deactivate it.
