In this episode, I get into the harsh truth about social media platforms and their true nature. No matter where you log in, whether it’s Instagram, BlueSky, Xthreads, TikTok, Warpcast, Reddit, or the latest niche app, you’re always at the mercy of a business-driven machine. These platforms treat you as a product or a customer, not a person. Your content, engagements, and online presence are ultimately irrelevant to the owners' bottom line. It's important to remember that social media is optimized for profit, not humanity, and to not take it too seriously. Log off, touch grass, and reclaim your mind from the digital chaos.
