In the long term does SW increase feelings of loneliness or decrease?

SW as a platform is as raw of a dopamine loop as the internet has to offer. Join, say, do whatever you want with zero accountability, burn who you want when you want because fuck it you don't know them IRL they obviously don't have feelings.

That said science tells us our longevity on social media is determined by the quality of the relationships we keep on it.

@SW-User What do you mean?

@SW-User Longevity on social networking sites is determined more so by dopamine ie addiction not the quality of relationships per se

@SW-User Right, and I never want to get addicted to my computer! I don't have that many "real life" friends on here so it's easy to stay away for a while.😉
