You know what the real problem is? People’s social media accounts are monetized. So the more controversy they generate…the more replies they get (no matter the sides)…they get paid regardless.
As a person also with a monetized social media platform, I see through it all now. People don’t even post truth anymore. In fact, I believe people purposely post falsehoods and lies because it’s a sure fire way to get people to comment. I can tell these instances because they post but go min a closet and let others fight on their timeline…and get money off of generating jibberish, divisive, socially corrosive content. I take the responsibility of a monetized, influential social media space very, very seriously. There’s an accountability that should come with such a blessing.
There - someone had to say it, because unfortunately, many for don’t even know the dynamics of social media influencer monetization. Social media could be a great space to have real dialogue. Instead, we are eroding truth. People don’t know what to believe anymore. It’s disheartening to humanity. Money is the primary God for waaaaay too many people. The sad part??? Many people don’t even realize this.
I’ve got lots to say about lots of things happening right now. The recent trial. The NBA…Knicks and Spurs. Health. Work life balance. Christianity, Christian responses and decisions…the quick, uninvited judgment and condemnation onto others when no one but God has that power.
Is there really any hope? Feels like the end is closer than we realize. Some days I can’t help but hope so. Then I think if my kids and think…”Are we really leaving the next generation a better world than what we had?” Feels worse…like…REALLY worse. Breaks my heart.
