Social media is something everyone uses now. We all tweet, like, share, and create but what are the implications of social media and its affect on our society? This Netflix documentary goes through the consequences of social media on company monetization, the human model, and the division of society. Today, we'll talk about what social media does to our psyches and how it benefits companies and their algorithms as well as the growth people need to create in order to reprioritize the people instead of the data.
I also wanted to take the time to say that today (as this podcast episode is shown as public) is my birthday! I am excited that a new chapter of my life is starting and thankful to many people that have helped me along the way. My parents, classmates, teachers, along with my new friends at school and professors. This episode means so much to me because this a moment for advocacy that needs to be said all while getting pretty emotional.
