Tales from the social media gulag

"Tyler, why aren't you on any of the major social media platforms like Farcebook, Tweedle, or Instaspam?"

Well personal reasons include the psychological, hormonal and biological fallout regular users are experiencing...

... not to mention the thought-policing and unrepentant deplatforming...

... or the overlords cutting down organic reach like defectors in a gulag...

... or the platforms being coopted to influence elections across the globe...

... or the bullying, abuse, and other horrors the platforms allows users to participate in...

But the main reason?

Social media just ain't my bag baby.

And I don't buy the social media guru's yelling on Farcebook Live that a social media presence is necessary for business. Unless you know what you're doing (or hire someone who focuses on growing social media followings) you're probably better off focusing your efforts elsewhere.

And yes, I realize the irony of haranguing about this on Linkedin. But a lot of people have been asking me about social media and my general distaste of it, so I figured I'd harangue a bit.
