I think its very different, because the algorithms are feeding you things you emotionally react to. Also i bet it changes your entire view of things very much. You dont have things like gender wars on tv very much, but its all over social media. I think it affects how young people think more than anything. Much more than tv.

You can look at the Lemmy front page also and see common themes, and over time, all this affects how young people think about themselves, politics, sex, anything really.

I dont think tv is even remotely affecting people in the same way as social media... Specially when you are young, it can affect you extreamly much. Because that need to fit in is super strong.

I grew up in the 90s and I was watching tv, so I know it didnt affect me at all as much as todays social media. But thats me, just one person. Perhaps its not the same for everyone, so this is just my opinion.
