There's an incredible cultural contempt for social media, everyone recognizes the harms, but we collectively spend more and more time on social media apps.

1. Because people like it. 2. “Social media” is not the right term to describe those apps anymore. There’s nothing social about them - just an algorithm feeding you stuff. True social media aren’t that different from forums - places where you can interact with other people (in either healthy or unhealthy way).

Ask yourself the same question but replace "social media" with "tobacco"
