Politics
I think the continued political climate is adding to this as well. I know a number of friends who have quit social media because they just couldn't handle the barrage of political posts in their feed everyday.

Re: About That Social Media Burnout
@Ariella The police actually came and told me that my mother (who lives in Jersey and I live in Long Island) was worried about me and to call her. In this particular instance, I had actually lost the phone, but found it a few days later. I don't always hear my phone ring either. The problem is mainly that the button on the side turns the ringer off. I don't know how that happens since it takes a little bit of pressure to turn that little button up and down. So it appears the phone has become a personal tracking device, and when you do something out of the ordinary, people tend to worry (at least in my family). As much as I wish I could detox, I can't have the police at my door every time I do.

Re: About That Social Media Burnout
@srulogo Did the police actually come, or did she just tell you about it? Even when I have my phone with me, I don't always realize when it someone sends me a text. In some conditions, I won't even hear it ring -- even though I rarely switch it to silent.

Re: About That Social Media Burnout
@Ariella You certainly were one of the stronger people who could resist the invitations to play those games. The only one I ever got involved with was Farmville. I never liked the other ones like Candy Crush, or whatever it was called. As Joe Stanganelli pointed out, it could be a bummer to return after a few days' hiatus to see that you lost a game. That's what keeps people going back to them all the time. The one your kid plays doesn't sound as high stress.

Re: About That Social Media Burnout
@Ariella That "Master a Digital Detox Program", if the steps are followed, sounds like it can ease some of the stress these social media addicts face. I, for one, would love to just turn off my phone for a week. But the last time I did that my mother and other members of my family got frantic and my mother called the police to my home!!!

Re: About That Social Media Burnout
@srulofo I never got into any of those games and ignored all FB invirtations to join. One of my kids does play a different kind of web-based game that she has been on for years. It doesn't need daily attention but fairly regular attention. One time she was gone from it too long and had to go back to the starting point.

About That Social Media Burnout
I certainly remember FarmVille and my own addiction to it. If I went back to that app, my farm is probably overgrown and has been taken over by the bank! People were playing it at work and trying to keep the volume low because it had such a distinctive tune. I kind of get the stress, but I didn't take it that seriously.
