Merchants of Despair

The owners of large social media platforms are Merchants of Despair. They knowingly make their product addictive by shoving constant despair down their user's throats. What should be a place of hope, communication, learning, and understanding is instead a rollercoaster of emotions designed to keep one scrolling and keep the ad reveune coming in. Social Media sells you despair so their real customers can sell you their "solutions" to your "problems".
