RE: Social Media, is it actually bad for you?
Really nice work on this post I must say.
Back to the question, do I believe that social media can be bad for me?
Yes I strongly believe that social media can be highly addictive and be bad for me. I can feel the thing you wrote here in the post about the dopamine high when you get rewarded with upvotes or comments. It's actually even greater here then on Facebook or Twitter.
So you have to be really careful with this "tools", because if it's used in the right way it can be amazing.
As you said in the post, " Remember when you would have to pick up the phone, or go to see someone to talk to them". This could mean that you would lose a friend just because they moved away because it's hard to sty in touch. Today I can honestly say that I have contact with a lot of my old friends which I maybe would't have had otherwise if it wasn't for social media.
Forgot to mention that I just followed you also. You seem to have good quality and that should be rewarded :)

Thank you for your comment! I have to agree that you bring up a few of the key advantages of social media. You can stay in touch and that in itself is a Gem. Yes Steemit can have the same effect as the others if you are not careful... Sometimes we have to remind ourselves of what this is for when we check comments/replies. We appreciate your comment about liking our articles and we plan to bring many more in the future that we hope wont disappoint.
