I was going to ask whether he's asian because he descended from Yasuke.

what'd he say?

to answer your question, then, which I thought you answered yourself.

​

social media UGC is largely unregulated, and similar to how traditional media's de-regulation caused the programming and public discourse to become increasingly radicalized over the years, is infested with substandard and often outright harmful content disseminated with malicious intent, including but not limited to the MLM you described.

​

look, I'm no fan of the bible belt or its pron-tweet liking senator, but I highly doubt social media would be a sufficient or adequate remedy, if not another plague in and of itself.

>Aside from all the dancers, fitfluencers, and MLM baddies, social media can be a great thing.

guess who puts on the best shows to court these malleable minds, a nawledge dispenser flaunting lambo, or credible news reporters, if the latter even exists on instagram/twitter?

for folks up in arms about this, let me remind you that tech executives do similar things with their own children; granted, mileage may vary significantly because most children lack their many IRL alternatives, but it's still something to consider.

>also less informed. the vast majority of information that people collect and consume comes from social media, in one form or another.

a number of people, myself included, think that's precisely the issue.
