Marcus Youssef - Thought #11

Hi, it's Marcus Youssef and this is number 11. I'm thinking about - whatever - the usual thoughts of how toxic social media is. But in particular about - the fewer and fewer times I'm on social media recently - how those feelings of resentment and upset I have about my friends posts, which are always about their success. And thinking about Shoshana Zuboff's book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, and all the data analysis stuff that's come out in the last year. And how I just literally want to talk to all of my friends and say, let's stop. Like me too, because I post successes on social media too. Because it feels like the only way to advertise it. But like, to just like, let's just stop. Let's just stop. Can we all just stop? Which I get is only part of the picture, but it's what I want to do.
