  It has been long time since social media cared about showing us things that we wanted to see.

  There have been several shootings that have had massive social media impact, you may have avoided them (and you did the right thing) but a huge amount of people experienced witnessing their first shooting death and maybe 2nd, 3rd and 4th this year. That’s a lot of cumulative psychological stress being inflicted on society and it isn’t like we’re living in a world that is otherwise a calming paradise…

  Social media is inflicting real harms and the people in control don’t seem very motivated to try to control them. Or, they did try in tests and determined that Engagement was more profitable and they’re shielded from the externalities.
