Back before the Internet, we thought the reason for human stupidity was the lack of information options.

I’ll put it this way: That wasn’t it.

Sorry, but you've just called abuse victims, mostly disabled and/or from low income families, “stupid”.

Social media give the same rewards to publications and comments, so people addicted to social media comment comments of comments.

Social media put characters limits on comments, stories, and tweets, so victims of social media addiction can't really conceptualize anything.

Social media give their users – who are addicted to other people's attention – tools to get their peers' attention by making them feel endangered, and because it's an addiction, their peers will feel anxious whenever getting over their social media addiction to study, start a project, read a book, or anything. They will also make their relatives feel endangered to get their attention.

For these reasons, they will also consume the assets produced by their peers, and produce assets consumed by their peers, in a rather closed circuit. They're culturally isolated from anything at stake for their communities, countries, or species.

Social media affordances are ubiquitous, and they poison any kind of information consumed there. The way social media victims consume and produce information isn't diverse.

And they tend to be disabled people, school abuse survivors, children from low-income families, mostly teenagers and young adults, with a rather poor social experience, i.e. extremely low standards and no concept of red flags.
