Agree
- Social media ruined authentic living
- Every choice feels like content now
- We optimize for likes not happiness
- Can't enjoy moments without documenting them
Disagree
- People genuinely share their real lives
- Community connection matters and is real
- Not everyone is that self-conscious
- Sharing joy isn't the same as performing
