As shooting rates among the young remain stratospheric, evidence suggests social media is serving as an accelerant to violence. Taunts that once could be forgotten now live on before large audiences, prompting people to take action.
Some people spend all their time on it arguing and being needlessly toxic, and they’re connected to it all day.
The (incorrect) idea with video games/metal was that they made people aggressive; meanwhile, social media is a platform where people actively go to be aggressive to other people and rile themselves up.
Oh, it’s not video games and heavy metal anymore?
Social media is far worse.

Video games and heavy metal I found is good for my mental health
