It is very baffling @joetunex, I think the reason why people spent countless hours on those platforms is because, most of the time people that join those platforms are not necessarily there to better their positions financially however they are there seeking for a place to belong, a place where they are understood, a place where they are heard. For the most part, those platforms are really lively and very interactive.
I think it is a challenge to us that are part of this ecosystem to make this platform more rewarding emotionally and more fulfilling in the conversations that we engage in.
You made a good point just like Taskmaster's response to me, people are on the likes of Facebook where they are easily heard, connect with friends and family.
It does however boils down to what is more valuable to an individual, time spent of social medias for almost nothing or channeled into something productive and educative.
