Big and evil corporations own YOU and your data. Are you really not going to do anything about it? Well most people wont, they will even make fun of people who try to quit these evil websites. "You really don't have instagram bro? Oh so you are one of those online hipsters. Get a life maaan."

"Hey mr. Zuck, could you please upload this photo for me? I will sell you my precious data in return. I will even tell you all the conversations I have with my friends, what I enjoy doing in my spare time, hell even what my profession is. What music I like listening to, what political party I support, I will even give you divine knowlegde over myself that even I do not possess.1"
~ This is you if you use instagram
Mr. Zuck will gladly take your offering. It is a great deal, all of this data can be sold to make the big bucks plus he can do whatewer he wants with your "photo" since it is not even yours anymore.
As per Mr. Zucks TOS (bolded by me):
"When you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights (like photos or videos) on or in connection with our Service, you hereby grant to us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content"
So esentially, you are giving away your data plus you are giving Mr. Zucky to have his way with your dear and loving family photos? Sorry if I am the first one to break it to you, but you are getting cucked hard.
People often say that "I have nothing to hide dude, why do I care if they can see my every move?". Well, they not only have read privileges to your brain, they have write ones as well! (For my normie friends, I wanted to say here that they can alter what you are thinking)
"Whoa dude, nobody can tell me what to think! I am a spiritual miracle individual, miracle spiritual individual... I am super duper unique and my thoughts are only mine!"
Sorry to break it to you son, but you are essentially what you think, and what you think is effectively what you consume day to day.
Now take a look at your daily consumption of the Gram or any other similar social media platform. You might be the lucky one and have daily consoome time of only about an hour! Most of you are not so lucky I would assume.
Now lets say that on average your consoome time is 2h per day. That is around 730 hours per year, lets say that average person will be a consoomer their whole adult life - around 50 years - that comes up to about 36.500 hours of content consoomed. To become an expert at something they say you need around 10.000 hours, just for comparison.
"So what dude? My feed is full of the stuff I like and the stuff I am interested in! I am only getting more informed about stuff I am passionate about dude!"
Yeah thats neet and all, but
Remember the good ol' days when your feed was just images and posts from the people you followed? Once you looked at all of their posts, it would be the end. You could go about your day and stopped looking. There was nothing more to see.
Now you will barelly see people you know, you will just get served the content that "The Algorithm" choose for you. You don't know what is best for you dude, "The Algorithm" does.
When it is not serving content it wants directly to your face, "The Algorithm" will also boost content it wants to promote. Posts or people going "viral" are just another result of this phenomenon. There are still posts that go "organically" viral, but only if the big Mr. Zuck allows that.
Similarly to how you would train a dog to do what you want, you, Mr. Zuck's own dog are being rewarded or disciplined when you are a good or a bad boy accordingly.
Having a non popular opinion? Well it is not going to be very popular, you might even get kicked out from Mr. Zucks property.
Have some NPC and bland thing to say that doesn't go against the status quo in any way and supports the stuff Mr. Zuck and the gang say shoud be supported? Congratulations! You now have a ton of likes!
Well it wont go excatly like this to be fair, you might get no popularity either way. But it would be good to look at most people you follow, are they saying anything non popular? I would assume that they are not.
At the end of the day, modern "cancel culture" is very much self evident.
"But dude, I just like watching memes, I am not into politics or any social issues. I live a peacefull life you know. Just watching funny memes and gym content".
Very nice dude, but I must say that
Just like putting a couple big needles in ones brain, poking around a bit to make them more "normal".
By filling you thoughts with stuff that doesn't matter, with entertaining stuff, they are deliberatelly taking away your thought real estate. Making you way less prone to thinking.
When you are less prone to think, you are way less prone to notice that you are being lobotomized.
Why is that? Not because they hate women and would get cancelled, but because nobody even "ponders" anymore. Modern man doesn't have time for thinking about the world around him, why would he do so? Why would he spend his precious life energy with thinking when it is much easier to go to the Gram and see what other bros are saying? Don't need to think much man, just watch the fast haha clips!
Modern man has very little original thought, as much more efficient is just accepting the "collective thought"
You just can't stop looking at the reels page eh? Why would you ever stop looking at it? Seems like "The Algorithm" seems to have figured you out - It just knows how to hit the funny bone dude. Almost like he knows exactly what you will find funny. You will send this to all your other friends who find this funny, they will get a notification and see the funny. We all laugh, what a great time dude, no way can "The Algorithm" be evil!
The Zuck essentially: "Please oh please just keep looking at The Gram. I give you all this goodness from the bottom of my good heart!"
You essentially: "Yes, my lord Zuck, I will forever keep looking. I love you."
Why do you think that "The Feed" is never-ending? Why do you think they are bombarding you with notifications all the time? Why is "The Algorithm" so good at finding just the right content for you to consoome? Why are you as a "creator" rewarded if you can make a lot of people watch?
It's addictive, it gives your little monke brain stimulus.
Why are most popular women on the platform shaking their half-naked bottoms at their camera and giving their bodies to you for free?
Because sexuality is addictive and super normalized in western culture. And again it makes your small monke brain go tickle tickle.
But you will do it, because everyone else is doing it, why wouldn't you feed the demon like everybody?
Well first thing is, you managed to get to this point in the blog, means you have at least some reading capacity left, which is good.
You didn't angrily close the tab and got offended, which is good as well.
There is hope for you.
It is rather simple. Couple of stuff I recomend is:
I mentioned the Zuck and Instagram here mostly, but the same issue lies with all other social media: Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and others.
They can predict the stuff you will like in the future with good probability, using information such as likes of similar people to you mixed with some machine learning. You are not so speaciall after all!
