Former vp of user growth Chamath Palihapitiya has come out recently saying recently expressing his sense of guilt for helping to turn Facebook into what it is today. Chamath feels that Facebook is exploiting human psychology and is using dopamine to hook people onto social media.
Chamath says that the "dopamine-driven feedback loop" is used to spread misinformation and deceive people with sensationalized news stories and ads. I believe that Chamath is correct, however, I wonder how it will affect our societies in the long run. How will we evolve with the technology and how will it evolve with us?
There are many uses for social media not all of them bad not all of them good. In my life facebook has been a valuable tool. Hopefully, it can evolve to be less addicting but there is not really an incentive for Facebook to do so unless the public decides to make them change they probably never will.
Does this news of former Facebook execs concern you? What do you think the long-term effects will be?
It is interesting to take into account how these Facebook execs feel, but have we as facebook users let this happen? Unfortunately, the billions of users that use FB daily allow for these addictive behaviors to occur. Yes, the news of execs such as Palihapitiya is concerning, but the way our society has allowed such a presence as FB and social media in general to consume our lives does not help here. I am curious as to see what impact social media has on our lives collectively in the future.
