welcome
to the paradox
of social
media

The ubiquitous nature of social media
generalizes experiences and social
phenomena.

We textualize every idea,
romanticize every ideal,
and criticize every fault.

We need to acknowledge
the vast scope of context
implied through each word,
each hashtag,
and each photograph.

Could we possibly
misunderstand or misinterpret
based on
different experiences or encounters?

Does it incite
a deeper understanding
of how each interplay of
ideas affects future generations
exposed to rapidly changing
content amassing great bias?

See how influencers go
from commercializing commodities
to becoming the main commodity?

An influencer can only be
an influencer by definition
after the recognition and acceptance
by an audience.

Social media is an
intelligence-turned machine,
dominating perception and norms,
and manipulating the perplexing lives of its users.

Critiquing a revenue-producing feature is a paradox
because it is like interpreting
the nuances of a living ecosystem of flowing commentary.

How will the inherent nature of
social media’s mechanism change
according to shifting
cultural values and societal norms?
