It worked pretty well for what it was created to do

Which is the unknown variable in this conversation.

Say, for my ends social media never worked well.

It pains me to communicate with many (by my measure) friends and acquaintances, knowing that those are basically DMs on a site ran by somebody and hundreds (or maybe thousands) of employees can just read those DMs. Writing personal things there, because people refuse to be worried about being likely eavesdropped on.

In general the worst prison is the one you’ve built for yourself and locked yourself in. And to learn to sing one has to start singing.

I can understand what you mean.

I suppose on my end the reason that social media exists was as a forum for open communication with strangers that you would never actually meet in real life, generally to discuss interests and hobbies, or to just shoot the shit. I’ve never viewed it as a platform for replacing the methods we already had for communicating with people we did know in real life, such as phone, or just meeting with them face to face.
