Even though I know that, and even though most users know that, they still find themselves going back on those apps. So what I'm saying here is, I acknowledge it but I don't mind it. I find it terrifying, but I don't do anything to stop it.]]> 2023-05-15 02:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590517078 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590520339 honestly it feels kind of intrusive and a lot of people ignore that, the same way our brain ignores our nose.
Most people know that our data is being surveilled and yet they don't do anything about it because they "don't bother" or "don't care" because of how "convenient" and "useful" these apps are for them.
it feels like a large human scale experiment, where they collect data from the things we interact with in their apps, we are technically lab rats lol

honestly im those people who don't bother HAHAH idrc what people do in their lives, I don't have the privilege to tell them what to do or what not to do, it's not my business]]> 2023-05-15 02:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590520339 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590522232 I feel like I'm being watched at some point thinking it would be like as we trade them our time and them giving the content i feel like there's these border that they want us to go out of the line and view more about the app and make it more than the time we expected, we thought that we would stop but instead we continue. ]]> 2023-05-15 02:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590522232 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590525024 i genuinely feel like it's unnecessary to do so, it is also a waste of money. however i understand that it may be hard to control the addiction and habits of opening social media from time to time just to see what has been trending. we will not die without social media]]> 2023-05-15 02:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590525024 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590527257 as much as these social media platforms carry a lot of entertainment, im not very happy to know that my data is being exposed. where my privacy is invaded. im not gonna lie, tiktok has a very addictive system where ill keep scrolling and i will continue to procrastinate which has such a big negative impact on me. its not just that, it knows our interests and our dislikes, a very creepy yet cool thing.]]> 2023-05-15 02:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590527257 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590534164 Its wasting our time on it because we kinda spend our time more on it.

Looks like there is no privacy. ]]> 2023-05-15 02:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590534164 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590538420 Giving general biodata for example our name to the creator should be okay, for me. However, when I know my data is being exposed it makes me feel uneasy since they can look at everyone's activity. I hope the creators are good people.]]> 2023-05-15 02:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590538420 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590548792 Well the common ground of an 'addictive app' is TikTok isn't it ? The more you use, the more the algorithm is set to fit your description. So the more the algorithm matches your description, the more time you're gonna spend on TikTok. The longer you use it, the more addictive it gets. If you abandon it, there's that sinking feeling of wanting to go back. ]]> 2023-05-15 02:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590548792 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590551843 when i first got instagram back in 2014, i only got it for the sake of following family and friends, and since i was new to it, I didn't really know its functions and everything, so i left it alone.
until i saw how other people interacted with it so i subconsciously thought,"oh, i wanna do that too" so i learned how to use it and basically i had no filter at all, i posted random things, interacted with my fav youtubers, watched other people's content and this occured everyday, without realizing, i was becoming addicted to it, i was craving to see what other people had posted or shared in their stories.]]> 2023-05-15 02:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590551843 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590553749 The fact that it's mostly related with us in actually terrifying. Technology once were just use to make life easier but then now it's different, more has exposed and unlikely would hardly recover from it. It's very addictive to the point that we can't get to stop and it's harder for us to let go. As it is very normalised in this time so it's showing that we can't just leave it as is. ]]> 2023-05-15 02:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590553749 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590556377 I chose Tiktok. Once I click on it, I'll be scrolling it for more than hours. It feels like I just click on it but when I look at the time, I scroll it for almost 2 hours everyday. The "for you" page showing lots of trending videos that make me want to scroll until the end. ]]> 2023-05-15 02:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590556377 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590556658 i couldnt think of any but recently, my wifi at home has been down for over 3 weeks, and i realized how i am tempted to go online and waste my own data just to get entertained. ive always regretted it as it leads me to buying more data.]]> 2023-05-15 02:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590556658 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590556749 yes technology has definitely become like some type of addiction. like drugs, its hard to stop habits that grow on you. bad habits die hard. so scrolling endlessly through tiktok, facebook, instagram etc wastes your time and drains your mind out. as someone who's been in a phase where i was addicted to social media, i used to want to be just like those on my screen which led me to believe that i had to do that as well. which obviously, because i have grown out of it since i rarely use Instagram anymore, made me realize that that was a bad mentality. im glad im over that phase 💀]]> 2023-05-15 02:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590556749 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590578383 Well, in my opinion, social media can really affect someone's mental health. Especially in teens nowadays we see them comparing themselves to these TikTok models and Instagram influencers. Some may also be affected by child neglect due to mothers or father's being on their phone, giving more attention to their phones and their online friends rather than their own flesh and blood to the point that they don't see how their child is doing or how well their child is feeding themselves. Thus resulting in trauma or other disorders that may affect how they're doing in life.]]> 2023-05-15 03:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590578383 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590580674 well i can see that its really affecting the social environment and some people are unaware that it has happened to them. they dont realized how addicted they are to the point they would spend hours online and believe whatever it posted. depression and anxiety may develop in a person without being aware of it. people even develop more insecurities and yet they do nothing to reduce their use of social medias ]]> 2023-05-15 03:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590580674 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590583635 It's related to the point that nowadays that teen would have related with the topic with each other. Somehow strangers would feel the same way that you are feeling at your lowest until you can have mental health problems. Overcoming it can be difficult as most people have traumatic experience like THEY depend social media to interact with their life and by that they're own discipline has change like until thinking of self harming and suicidal thoughts. It's more towards the fact that teens are dependent on having social media rather than having to overcome their own fear of being in social media (if that even make sense to you). To me discipline is key to make our life better and healthier ]]> 2023-05-15 03:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590583635 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590583773 honestly social media intertwined with mental health is a double edged sword.
one side is where people are able to reach out to people who can help (family, friends, professionals, etc.) and are able to heal and possibly become a person who is better than their past, they are also able to meet new people where they can socialize and be happy together.

on the other side though, is where people can absolutely wreck you and your self esteem. It gets worse than irl because since it's online and not f2f, these people will not hesitate to comment whatever is in their minds and nitpick you at whatever single thing you do. Its anonymity is also an advantage for those people. Personally I've never experienced cyber bullying ot anything related fortunately, but for the unfortunate, their lives just get worse and worse until they are overwhelmed with these emotions and when they think they can escape by suicide. People commit suicide because they believe that it's their only way to escape the feeling of stares and comments on them.]]> 2023-05-15 03:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590583773 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590586984 our mental health is very important. and yes, social media does affect it. whenever there is good, there's always bad. same thing with social media. it has both good and bad. the negative side of it is the part where young teens put themselves on a bar that leads them into believing that they want to reach the heights of such beauty standards, and them envying others on screen which can lead to self loathing. generally speaking, our mental health does not only stem from social media, but it also comes from our surroundings. to make matters worse, the newer generation will probably have it worse now that technology is so vast and more social media apps are currently in the making. now most people cant even differentiate whats real or not.]]> 2023-05-15 03:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590586984 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590623263 it depends on what type of data they take and the type of user they take from.

if i was a creator, i sure wouldnt like it if my data were to be open and available to those who wish to use it for their gain unless the data that they take from me is not sensitive information. but that would still be difficult as being a creator means sharing information.

if i was a viewer, i wouldn't mind trading my data to use social media for free as there would be no need for me to put up important information about myself just to access public content.

though it would still be nice if there were options on choosing what type of data i allow to be taken from me or ]]> 2023-05-15 03:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590623263 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590643821 social media has a strongggggg choke hold on the mental state of its users. if the user doesnt have a stronggggg standing or grasp on their opinions and views, it can easily change when they encounter content with a lot of likes or agreement that disagrees or counters or just entirely different to their original opinion or views. or morals. social media can make people overly sensitive or overly desensitized to things, corrupt or fix a person's morals and completely change the way a person's gears work. it depends on the person really but because of the growing mono culture all around the world because of social media, although social media does both good and bad, i say it does more bad than good. staying on social media has its good and literally could change a person's life trajectory but staying away from it does wonders that staying on it can't do. stay safe yall 🤞]]> 2023-05-15 03:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2590643821 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2591136700 I feel like I have been betrayed by someone who knows me well but at the same time, I don't know him/her/them (creators). Because since I didn't know why they need our data which I didn't have no idea about it. I also never thought that the main goal of the creators are actually us (users). Like we are the 'products'. Well, it benefits me after giving my data to do certain work but the way that they know billions of people's data really scares me up and how they actually control us secretly.  ]]> 2023-05-15 10:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2591136700 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2591143577 For the first time I had my phone, I said to myself that I wouldn't get addicted to it unlike the people out there. It was easy at first since I didn't know much about the apps that you can download on your phone and all that.

There might be advantages to us but as I recall back to what I just watched from the video, it really opens my mind like I just realized how 'clever' the creators are but not in a good way. I feel like there are 'enemies under MY blanket' like they can just 'damaging' you in a very gentle way, just by tapping a button or something like that which ends up making you become addicted to social media.

They always take the negative comment way too much until they hesitate to change their appearance to make their followers love them.

Social Media really affect teenagers mental health. It leads to overthinking, depression and suicide just because of posts. They think that they are not enough and always comparing themselves with others. They want a perfect life like others. Other than that, people's comments in Social Media also affects mental health. Some people being harsh to other people. Lots of cases about teenagers going through depression and suicide that makes teenagers think that when they going through depression, suicide is the best way to walk away from the problems they got into. They will post about cutting themselves. eating sleeping pills to get some rest.

Also, how just simply because of one negative comment , it can ruin ones self esteem. Just because of one negative comment , they would harm themselves just to meet other people standard.

I don't really care about it as long as it doesn't affect my safety (chances are low but never zero). Social media isn't free if you think about it like in buying and selling goods you have to trade something for it so it's not really cobsidered 'free' if you're buying (installing) the app and trading it with your information and personal data. Quite impressive.

In the end i don't really have a side to choose, honestly it depends on the person. I mean i am kind off spooked but i don't care at the same time.

But when i turned 13 I begged them to let me have an account because i felt left out, i couldnt fir in, i felt clueless and on somedays i'd cry not being able to connect to my friends about it. But when i created one i found myself being glued onto the screen. Even if im tired id still crave for social media and attention. I soon realised that and started taking a break from social media for a few months, but even so, a few month's after that I still got back to social media. Addiction is scary.

Now i'm slowly giving up on tiktok (mainly because it is so laggy on my phone) because it's really distracting but i still do have the app, just for cooking and sewing videos.]]> 2023-05-17 23:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2595332677 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2595338307 Personally, Yes! From a personal experience I myself got caught in the trap. I used to find people cutting themselves 'cringey' and well gross. But what i did not realise is that i was doing it to myself, starving myself, just to get that unrealistic body standard. 'The diamond' they call it, it's where you make your thighs thinner until it creates a diamond in between. Well, i managed to achieve me but god my body hates it. I was really weak and in other terms i was slowly killing myself. I also get envious from other people and what they have, i get anxious for not having it and find myself laying in bed and doing nothing and being so sad about it. 

Scary, I don't really want anyone to go through that, but with how the world is doing right now i dont think its possible now. 

Like i said I still do go on the app but not to judge nor compare myself anymore but to learn more helpful and interesting beneficial stuff like cooking, baking and sewing]]> 2023-05-17 23:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2595338307 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2595927436 i feel like its dangerous because they can easily get our information just by scrolling social media and it feels like they know us better than we do.]]> 2023-05-18 07:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2595927436 https://padlet.com/iapatel333/qdenu7j8x4rw46pi/wish/2595931260 from own experience, i usually watch youtube and once I'm on Youtube I couldn't stop scrolling and watching all the videos and shorts.

I'd also talk about some other stuff regarding controversial topics and sometimes, YouTube or other platforms would just slide in more topics in relation to controversy into my recommendations.

When i first had instagram, i was glued on the screen because i didnt know that if i keep liking a certain post it'll give me another post that is simillar to the previous one and i got tricked and pulled into the rabbit hole. I used to be obssesed with kpop i thought that id be obssesed until i am now so when i was given the oppurtunity to go to japan when i was 13 (same age as when i first created that instagram account) all i wanted to do was buy kpop stuff, yes korean pop. Because my feed kept showing me kpop merch ofcourse little me would go "omg thats what i see everyone have right now" i thought it was cool to have it but it never really did anything. Basically saying, social media manipulated me into buying stuff that are not beneficial to me and honestly wasted the view of japan. Now all those kpop merch are stored in boxes collecting dust.
