Yes, that's true. I think people were always like that, but didn't have the proper tool in the times when forums ruled. Most of people are like these social media. I mean, superficial (no offense), in the end social media is content, and that content is created by people and their behavior We must understand that the society we are dealing with is not quite advanced in terms of evolution The fact that we all have two hands and two legs doesn't mean we are all the same mentally. Most of our society is like leaves, they fly in the direction when the current wind blows. The wind changes, they change too, they are very reactive and not creative - this is my personal definition of the secret behind the social media These media are designed for certain needs, which were observed for many years (before the internet), and in respone to them such tools were delibaretely given to people. Disclaimer: I'm aware of other functions of social media as well.
