I am a half decent content creator, but I think one of the worst things these sites did was force everyone to become one, too I saw a doctor post on X about the process a patient went through to get cancer medication her insurer tried really hard to deny. One of the steps was social media shaming the insurer. I was so taken aback by that. What if you don’t have an audience, aren’t worth listening to? Aren’t a “creator”? I tried to make this point and the doctor replied to me “you can ask your doctor to help with the social media shaming” and I wanted to throw myself off a cliff. Bleak. Conspiring with your oncologist for likes and shares to get medicine. Anyway, yeah, I wish they didn’t exist either.

yikes. I had a short story/Black Mirror episode idea for a universe where healthcare is dependent on your social media campaign for yourself. the idea stemmed from seeing so many GoFundMe campaigns for health care in the US - obviously we're not far off 😬

People exploit what they value and defend what they love! Are you worth loving? Are you worth defending? How many likes did that post get?
