Social media sites have turned into Kenyan news Channels
I have intentionally made sure that I don't watch any new stories on TV. Think Citizen ,NTV or even The Standard even if I support freedom of the press.
Most news were about negative situations and stories about either violence, crime or some dramas that led to murders.
Now am realizing Facebook/Instagram/TikTok have turned into that. Not sure if am training my Algo or I follow stupid people who kinda make me see post about violence, crime and couples fighting and breaking up.
Mob justice is something I've only seen twice in real life but oon social media I think I have seen hundreds of thieves being beaten this year alone. Its kinda disproposonate to would I would have otherwise encountered. Even videos of kids dying in Gaza. I had to uninstall Thread since I kept seeing those.
I know I should be informed but joh me huchukia those graphic violent stuff. It makes the world seem worse than it is. I know the world sucks and we should probably fix it.
Then the dramas. Mara mtu aligongewa 12 years ago. Sai ndio anajua. Mara celebs and influencers flaunting while others go to rehab.
And the content is endless. Like there is always something. Idk what you think
