I think every invention has its advantages and disadvantages. What is best is to make the best use of the inventions. Social media has been a source of fame and wealth for a lot of people. The bottom line is knowing what you want social media to do for you and working towards. I mean am here on steemit close to 8hrs and making little money so its not such a bad idea
you are right evey platform has its advantages and disadvantages but all is in our hand that how we use them.
