I see the "stay off social media" advice a lot. I have to wonder if the people who say that are using social media the same way as I am, and still want to get off it. I think an interesting hubski though experiment would be everyone taking an objective look at their facebook feeds to see exactly how high or low quality the content actually is, and what this says about the site they presumably spend so much time on. I suspect the answer would be that for a lot of us, nearly everything on our facebook feed is meaningful or interesting to see. The damn thing has personalization as a feature, after all. So I've never understood that paradigm.
