That was rather clever.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, as I&#8217;ve stated before, I truly don&#8217;t see an issue with my social media usage. Honestly, I don&#8217;t binge it; I use it in moderation. This article made me realize just how addicted to their phones people are. There are actual people who constantly check their phones. They can&#8217;t go a single minute with checking to make sure that they aren&#8217;t missing anything. I, on the other hand, only use my phone when there&#8217;s not much else to do. In fact, I accidentally messed up a fifteen day long Snapstreak this weekend because I forgot to check my phone all day. I was with my friends that I was streaking with, so I completely forgot to snap them back. Because I was so engrossed with reality (and also sleeping a lot), I forgot about the world of social media.<\/p>\n<p>Because I&#8217;m not addicted to social media, having to pay for it would anger me. I use it honestly because everyone else does, but being forced to pay for things even when everyone else is using it, is pointless to me. When new phones come out, a lot of people want to buy it, but I&#8217;m not buying something just because it&#8217;s popular. In that case, I won&#8217;t use anything at all.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I&#8217;m certainly not a part of the group of people who binge social media. Truly, I find it rather pointless and annoying to invest so much time into something that may not matter later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First off, I&#8217;d like to acknowledge my extreme delight in how social media was compared to junk food and how this overload of social media was like a junk food binge.
