What Jamie wrote
Well told story that highlights many of the fundamental negative cycles of social media.
And herein lies my biggest gripe with social media. There is no room for nuance, there is no room for grey. Every interaction is based on reaction alone - reflection is rendered moot, because there will always be another scandal that needs attending to.

These pluralities are unable to exist on social media. There must always be objective truth, there must always be a side that wins, a side that loses, and there are extra points to whoever gets there first, never mind the consequences.
I know people still like to defend social media, and positive aspects. I don't buy it. I think the ROI is extremely upside down.
