What did society use in the past instead of social media?

We used books instead of recent search engines and info websites e.g. google, wikipedia

Newspaper instead of news articles online

Telegram and written letters instead of texting, voice and normal messages

Telephone and meeting in person instead of online chatting and video chat

Voice/Shouting to advertise instead of displaying commercials online/sponsoring

Mix-tape/Cassette to record/keep sounds/music instead of downloading music and recording audio to share

Radio to keep up with news and current events instead of reading or watching news online

A reason why we are having issues is because of how we are using it and what types of social media we are using. For example, Facebook was made by Mark Zuckerberg for finding people but now it is used for many different uses e.g. business/community building, spreading opinions, etc.

Ways we can use social media more positively for our benefit is to:
set daily limits, don't always depend on the public's opinion,  be aware of your own personal life and take care of it, search beneficial information, look up to good role models, share positive messages if relevant, engage with purpose and don't use when not required.

This issue can be also solved by using different kinds of social media that will fit your interests and time management. This is a way to lessen procrastination while not putting away your device fully.
I use an app called 'Amino' that has a lot 'aminos' that have a specific topic/interest we can talk/post about. This reduces the chance of me suddenly watching a random video that I have no reason to be looking at. Creators of the amino don't allow other topic related posts to be shared or the people who encounter the unrelated post report them.

Politicians, developers of the social media, communities, government social media manager, the public, celebrities, rich individuals, workers of the social media websites are in charge of social media.

Celebrities are used as advertisement and to captivate the audience

The public control social media as well because of how we use it. It could have been created by the developers and changed by the workers but we are the ones that are using it wrong.

Social media provides us tools to advertise, community building, self-presentation, stay in touch with others, share opinions, entertaining content

Social media is essential to advertising because it can display pictures and videos (commercials) where ever/when ever e.g. before, after, between videos, on the side of a website,  etc.

Social media helps bring groups/communities together because you can share and discuss opinions, interests and topics with other people around the world.

Social media has features which you can present yourself to the public. You can ask for public approval by posting pictures and comments.

Entertaining content is a big part of social media. It is one of the reasons why we get addicted to social media.
