> that there's nobody of value on those platforms so now you say people should stop wanting to connect in the first place

that's exactly what i said and not a figment of your imagination.

if your social circle mostly exists on instagram like the person that i was replying to mentioned :), then you have no social life. any of these platforms is just an add-on to real social interaction. prioritize the real thing and the platform stops mattering.

> social media is a cancer

it isn't but your comment is.
