Dark side of social media algorithm: Things You're Forgetting to Do
Social media has transformed from a curiosity to an essential component of billions of people's everyday lives in just over a decade. The way we interact with information, communicate, and even view ourselves and others has changed significantly as a result of platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube. With the ability to exchange real-time life updates and overcome geographic barriers, these platforms have completely transformed social interactions. Nevertheless, social media's drawbacks have grown along with its popularity and importance.
The scheming nature of algorithms
Let us first establish our situation. Social media algorithms are made to entice you to click, scroll, and interact. They use information from your interactions, interests, and behavior to provide you with material that will entice you to stay on the platform longer. Does this seem innocent enough?
Alright, not quite. These algorithms are extremely deceptive, exploiting our psychological weaknesses to maintain our interest.
Some harmful effects
Influence on mental health
Our mental health may suffer greatly from the constant barrage of well-chosen content. The algorithmic decisions aren't always in our best interests; they might lead to elevated levels of anxiety and despair as well as problems with body image. The more negative emotion-provoking stuff you interact with, the more of it you'll see. It's an unbreakable cycle.
Spreading delusion and echo chambers
Misinformation spreading is another concerning element. stuff with a high level of engagement is given precedence by algorithms, not necessarily stuff that is useful or truthful. This can further polarize society and affect our cognitive processes by fostering the development of "echo chambers," where you're only exposed to ideas and facts that support your own beliefs.
Body image and self-assurance
Speaking of bodies, let's do this. Especially for young people, algorithms frequently favor information that upholds unattainable beauty standards, which can cause body dysmorphia and a host of other problems with self-esteem. Because algorithms don't know any difference, we are constantly comparing ourselves to others, which can be harmful to our mental health.
The negative impact of social media on relationships
Ironically, social media frequently has the opposite effect of what it is intended to do—connect people. Social media use can cause people to become less engaged in real-world relationships because it causes them to focus more on their online personas and interactions than on those in their immediate social circles. Even when users are continuously connecting with others online, studies have shown that excessive usage of social media can result in feelings of isolation and loneliness.
