Back in 2009 when the internet has some growth ,Social media was building an environment of connecting people across the world ,companies like Google ,Facebook was doing great stuff for many year, but after few years of success , Facebook got massive users that are using social media for day to day life .
This platforms not makes us users anymore ,we are just a product for them .
Many of you observed communal hate , people are responding to other with abusive language and even death thread used to fear the person from giving suggestion or opinion .
Many fake news floods into our feed ,that changes our mentality towards a community or a person , social media founders doesn’t care about such flooding fake news , they are many videos , comments, tweet and post that are not verified properly before uploading it to the social media..
The social media platforms are just becoming a Giant business model for founders, they only want us to use it more and more .
When we look 2019 and current year we had many facilities available online, our data is used in different apps , that means our data is collected in large amount ,what we feel, how we react to such post , which is our favourite food,books,music,place everything is been analyzed by Artificial Intelligent .
The above image shows death rates of young teenagers after having anxiety ,depression .
Which party you like the most , what are your opinion views , everything is recorded or analyzed and stored in the servers . If you refresh your home screen of social media you can see some related stuff that you are interested in , and that triggers your mind for stuff like that . that kind of process comes under Endless Dopamine Feedback loops .
The topic of endless Dopamine feedback loops is long, So I recommend you to research about it.
How social media company hold us long time?
By knowing about you they can simply manipulate you ,also they make you addicted to there platform for long , the more time you spend on the social media , the more money they make .
What can we do to reduce spending time on social media ?

Eyes on your kid, monitor what they see on feed of social media.
