The last Whistle-Blower of Facebook told the senate that Facebook and Instagram knew about the harm they are doing and they could change it, but they have decided not to change it.
So they are putting profit over mental health if you ask her (not that we didn't knew that already).
Soo, yes? It might be possible to achieve :D
They obviously know what they're doing. Objectively saying: it works, billions of active users, billions of $$$. But is it ethically correct? Do people feel good after using them?
The infinite scrolling short-videos used excessively by TikTok, Instagram & Youtube could be compared to a casino offering a gambler a slot-machine for his next high.
Yes, it works!
But nah, most people don't feel good afterwards xD
Yes true. Thats why I don't have TikTok or Instagram on my phone
I'm not trying to put up the moral finger - not at all. I've just noticed how much of a time-waste they are, how bad I personally feel after using certain functions and I don't want to create something that makes other people feel the same way. I want to uplift people.
Exactly. Even though you don't put up the moral finger, just you saying this already makes inji a bettter option than the social medias!
