Social media was a mistake and a phone camera is the worst invention of our lifetimes.

We destroyed society for absolute shit.

Phone cameras are actually pretty cool imo. Social media was def a mistake tho.

But for a time, a few shareholders got super rich! So totally great tradeoff, 100% worth it.

I disagree. Advertising with a tracking component was the worst invention of our lifetimes. Or, if you are really old, possibly advertising in general. It provides 90% of the incentive for companies to want all your information in the first place.

Almost nobody would undo the internet, but plenty of kids would undo social media (ONLY if it meant deleting it for all their peers, self removal doesn’t count).

It was inevitable tho , and don't get this twisted, I'm anti social media. The second internet became public and accessible to literally everyone social media was bound to happen. We are naturally social creatures and want to interact with others. The issue is people are farmed like fucking livestock now. Companies know what they are doing by fostering and facilitating this current form of behavior manipulation.
