One hour a day

If you are spending more than one hour a day on social media, you are severely opening yourself up to unhappiness, anxiety, propaganda, and so forth.

Even then, the effects can be catastrophic for some people.

So the question isn’t just how much but what kind of social media. Someone spending all their time watching Fox News Reels is having a completely different experience from the user asking relevant questions about a book club in their neighborhood. Everything else is junk food media that has seduced us to believe we are being informed.

In this case: quantity and quality matter.
