real life's better than social media.
tbh, social media its kinda useless. people use it to bitch and complain then do nothing. the people who will do something, are not generally stopped by lack of social media
its why the left loves it so much
say something that sounds nice, click share, then sit back and enjoy my good feels while nothing actually gets done
yeah it's just like this chat channel
kinda
youtube is the only one i think which actually has some value
in the same way radio does
but people have been making money from TV and radio long before the internet age, and companies like Rooster Teeth took off before youtube was even a thing and they are going strong while still offering free viewing of a lot of there stuff
Well, democracies are kinda driven by public opinion, and social media is a tool for influencing public opinion. So yeah there's an aspect of like, share, and do nothing, but then there's also an aspect of making people aware of things they wouldn't otherwise be aware of.
yes, its a way of influencing public opinion and its own by private companies with agendas
its useless
worse, its dangerous
Like if social media didn't exist, Americans wouldn't really give a fuck about the European migrant crisis.
and what does it matter that we do?
there is not much we can even do outside of bitch and moan?
Because now people actually oppose bringing refugees here.
And vote accordingly.
okay, but was it really Americans that changed their mind? or their own country men?
Whereas the default otherwise would be bringing them in by the bazillions.
it certainly wasn't fucking Europeans who made Americans care about illegal immigrates. We have been complaining about them since before the internet.
in fact, we have always been shit to the largest population of migrates
legal or otherwise
Y'know what really annoys me.
if you're interested.
Okay, suppose you have major gripes about living in america, as an american.
I'm not talking about Europeans. I'm talking about Americans, who are generally insular and ignorant about the rest of the world. Without social media Americans wouldn't have even known that the migrant crisis happened, let alone have formulated an actionable opinion on the consequences of it.
"If you don't like it here you can jes GEET OWT."
Because people had always said this, I assumed the immigration process to other countries was easy.
... No it very much isn't. So why do people say it?
As soon as I learned that, I learned how stupid most adults are.
"Oh wow they just parrot each other and never verify."
the only thing americans might have done to help with the migrate crisis is through funding alternative voices, of which youtube is a much better platform for that than twitter or facebook
and small message boards have been around since like day one of the internet
Despite how much youtube wants to fail.
The sheer ability to upload videos and link them quickly will always make them the best thing for the entire world at the moment
the more people participating in a network, the more value it has.
"Wait. Someone can just make an entertaining and well edited video DEBUNKING ONE OF MY LIES?! FOR EVERYONE TO SEE?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
And then the demon breathed fire.
And put on the Hillary mask.
