But those other studies didn’t make the news though, did they? The thing about scientists is that they aren’t just scientists, and the impact of their work goes beyond the papers that they publish. If doing something ‘unethical’ is what it takes to get people to wake up, then maybe the publication status is a lesser concern.

Worth noting by the way that instagram is owned by Meta - the very company the post is calling out.

I think there are much more substantial reasons at play here than just “not liking it,” and I think you knew that before you posted. :P

Social media is a double edged sword. It connects but also isolates… informs but also decieves. Entertains, but also cripples.

It’s crazy to think that things were so different even just 15 years ago. Maybe one day we can once again have a wholly positive relationship with this technology. But first, I think, we have to break the addiction.

In other words, I think this is a good start.
