Platforms: Social, Societal or Socialistic (BS)
They sell you more connections, they claim they're connecting people, it may even seem to some that their communication circle grows when they use.
However, it's an illusion, a daze, you get to spend more time with the platform, and less -- with people. Yes, if you need to push anything, then, yes, social platforms -- or, nowadays, let's be honest, multi-user co-entertainment systems -- is an option for you, after all, their experienced users should fully expect being pushed something all the time.
Human connection: not so much, surface-level-tribalism exploitation: we have AI for that!
