Thoughts after watching Netflix's The Social Dilemma (and some quotes from the docu-drama):


1. "If you are not paying for the product, then you are the product."
2. Tech giants forbid their own kids from using social media.
3. "Social media isn't a tool that's just waiting to be used. It has its own goals, and it has its own means of pursuing them."
4. The guy who invented Youtube's algorithm is now telling us to avoid watching the next video Youtube is urging you to watch.
5. Social media platforms are built to manipulate us into spending as much time in front of the screen as possible.
6. We are indeed living in a Black Mirror episode, and it's a lot scarier than most people think.
