When Product Markets Become Collective Traps: The Case of Social Media | BFI

Large shares of consumers use Instagram and TikTok out of a fear of missing out rather than genuine interest and, as a result, are worse off than if...

Those findings are crazy. I’ve never been social media addicted, been into luxury or general show-off brands (I pay extra to not look like I’m an advertisement… for anything but metal bands), so I don’t really know much about those issues.

    That doesn’t mean they can be held responsible for their inability to do so.

    Not once have I said anything like that.

    They need to helped with measures to keep harm away.

    Yes, for example, by getting helped by those people not challenged like that. Which is exactly what I’m saying.

    Some of us govern themselves mostly well

    These are who I’m talking about. People I think are a majority.

      In this case, we might slightly misunderstand eachother but seem to be mostly on the same page.

      I still dont think the majority governs themselves well because we would be happily living in anarchy then.
