Recently, I've been watching YouTube, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). They are trying to connect with people and increase their followers, But it is no longer a "circulation of information" but a chain of reflections". But it is no longer a "circulation of information", but a chain of reflections**.

The information that people can receive, There are two axes of information received by humans: frequency of contact and density of information. With social networking, the density of this information has become extremely thin.
Instagram and X posts are now on the same level as advertisements. There is no "experience" in them. It's just a thin flood of stimuli that just passes the eye.

There is still some content on YouTube, though, It's also ultimately about whether you're creating a 'relationship with the viewer'. In marketing terms, it's engagement.
But the word 'engagement', When relationships are already measured in numbers, the relationship is already measured by a number.
For example, if it is a business, Once you meet and have dinner together, That's all you need to do, In social networking sites, they do it over dozens of posts.

Consequences of the fall of content into information, People are losing what they 'experience'.
Most videos are skipped within five seconds, most posts are seen but not remembered. In an age where people are chosen based on time performance, People's attention and emotions no longer pass through the brain.
It is not a thought but a reflection.

I myself, after I stopped writing code just to interact with the AI for a while, I became a little crazy. The state of "not experiencing" as a human being, I realised how much the state of "not experiencing" it as a human being can reduce one's mentality.
There are surely many people in this situation in today's society. So first of all, I think we need to detoxify social networking.

And one more thing. 'Consuming' content and, 'creating' oneself are incompatible.
If you only look at thin information, Your output will also become thinner. Because the resolution of the world you are looking at is low, The resolution of the world you see is low, so the resolution of the world you create is also low.

Even when looking at posts with hundreds of thousands of likes, There are hardly any comments. That means there is no human connection. We are just betting on information.
So also the creation that comes from it, It is only information.
Information without experience, no matter how much it increases, does not enrich people.
