This is the problem with becoming reliant on large monopolistic companies. Due to business interests, they become enshittified, and have no incentive to provide you any value.

Social media apps are incentivized to turn you into a zombie who spends every waking second scrolling.

Dating apps are incentivized to keep you single and using their app forever.

You don't need LinkedIn if you get a good job.

If you aren't mindful about this, you will be treated as the compliant commodity you are.

But the truth is you don't need them. The best jobs aren't on LinkedIn, the best friendships or party invites aren't on instagram or facebook, the best romantic partners are not on dating apps, etc.

Doing things in real life pays a massive dividend now, and fewer people than ever before are doing it, because the barriers to the enshittified life are minimal, and the costs are downstream.
