I don’t think that social media isn’t problematic. I think it’s been used as a tool to distract people from bigger issues by inflating it’s importance.

I also think social media is used as a coping mechanism when better coping mechanisms haven’t been learned. Social media is a tool and it can be used in a healthy and an unhealthy way. Granted, developers create these platforms to take advantage of our vulnerabilities, we should learn how to responsibly use these tools. And simple education is likely enough to mitigate the vast majority of issues relating to it.
