I think there is a difference between utility driven social media like LinkedIn or Nextdoor (and to an extent messaging apps like WhatsApp if you consider that social media) and apps like Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram which are less utility driven and more entertainment driven.<p>Of course, one can derive utility from the entertainment driven apps, but it&#x27;s often disproportionate to the gravity of the entertainment and naval gazing that they are optimized for.<p>Go on LinkedIn or Nextdoor and you see much less of this type of naval gazing. People might be trying to find a job, gain insight into an org, keep their resume updated, with LinkedIn. Or they might be trying to find a babysitter, sell an item, or offer a service&#x2F;recommendation to their neighbors on Nextdoor. Yes, both platforms have their flaws, but at the end of the day they are indeed driven by and based around a utility rather than naval gazing.<p>But those too, you have to be careful with in how you use them. I&#x27;m not quite sure where I was going with this comment, but I wanted to point out that a distinction and difference does exist between types of social media.
