The longer you (actually) spend on social media the more jaded you’re going to become You grow, but the more you grow basically the dumber the interactions. Ai slop replies, greed, angry people on the internet, <50 iq, etc Makes sense that old guards get more and more nihilistic because the curve of time spent on social media and mental sanity down only. Especially the more time you spend in echo chambers that amplify greed, money, riches… dream sells. If not careful, the echo chamber becomes one’s reality - and at that point is when pessimism completely wins Build a presence by having something to say, expect nothing in return, and realize there’s a lot to be optimistic about because you’re in control of you’re own circumstances

Seen it kind of myself personally. The more “growth” - the more exposure to just absolute idiocy and greed

Why I try to be pretty intentional about optimism and focus
