It's not "girls twerking" that's the problem (that's intellectually lazy and a standard misogynist talking point). The actual problem is that human attention has been monetized (by corporations), and manipulated by bad actors (trolls and bots). It turns out the manipulating people's attention for money/ideology has some negative side effects (for them and society). Good call on avoiding social media though-- you'll avoid a lot of manipulative BS that way.

If you think half naked women twerking is not detrimental for society and the young folks idk what to tell yoi, common sense is missing there. Truth is social media is killing Western society, period. I also believe this was done by design, not simply by being a biproduct of the times.

The youth don't really have a place to socialize anymore outside of school. It used to be the mall, but those are mostly on their last legs, so online gaming and social media fill that missing third place. The only reason why social media got as big as it did was because we destroyed everything of value outside of it
