Social Media Is The New Smoking
While I understand why people might have experiences that would lead them to hold the views in this post, these views generalize such experience to describe all social media use. Many people have profoundly valuable and deep social connections on social media, and still also have valuable FTF social connections. Like any broad human activity, social media use is more complex than imagined here. Even smoking itself can't always be seen as all bad, see this account of how smoking breaks can be seen supporting worker rights and social connection.
