Unlike generations before us, people don't have free third spaces. A third space being "a public spotĀ whereĀ youĀ connect with others over aĀ shared interestĀ orĀ activity, outside of home and work". Socializing is expensive and oftentimes unsafe. Shops meant to encourage interaction will target you if you fail to make a purchase. Loitering is crime and directly tied to capitalism. Thus, social media has become a cheaper, more accessible third space. --- But I too am tired of certain social media apps because of people's obsession with being platforrmed. We should simply enjoy each other's company. Everything shouldn't be monetized.
