It has ruined communication. First texting abbreviations, then emojis as replacements for words, now it’s just like a post. Most platforms have removed the ability to dislike, because people dislike things in real life.
Reducing in-person interactions and connections. Some person right now thinks they have 300 friends because all of their Facebook “chums” added them because they were in the same class or grade in high school. But most are doing it because they themselves feel the need to have as many friends as possible, so it looks good on their page.
The concept of following people on Twitter or Instagram is laughable. All these followers, but none of these people are leaders. The irony writes itself
