It would be a lie to say that social media is evil. It helps us connect with people, get inspired, entertained (I bet you discovered this newsletter on social media). Yet, I believe some features, like Stories, create more value for companies than users. Let’s take a closer look at problems with Stories and consider alternatives.
Definitely agree with your comment about how we tend to spend more time scrolling stories at the moment when we feel bored and it's rather worth asking why is that we feel bored in the first place. Sometimes I deliberately plan what I'll be doing in the long line or on a train to work to make sure I don't fall into the trap of watching stories.
Many thanks for a cool article. I few times tried to quit Instagram because of stories. Now will try your approaches with filters. Sounds interesting!
