Re: About That Social Media Burnout
@srufolo1 I share your feeling of dismay. Of course, we willingly let ourselves become addicted when we don't leave home without devices that can connect us to our next fix. That's why some people make the decision to detox. It's a real thing now. See http://www.popsugar.com/tech/How-Stay-Off-Your-Phone-35379919
Re: About That Social Media Burnout
@srufolo: It's less about self-definition and it's more about how Snapchat gamified the app. It's similar to peoples' addictions to Farmville (remember that?) back in the day.
(Meanwhile, I myself have an app game that is fun to play -- but if I go three days without taking a turn, I forfeit. Not typically an issue; I use it to keep my brain occupied for five minutes or so once a day, but sometimes I go a day or two without touching it. It doesn't make me feel the need to play it more, but there is a bummer to check it after a few days and find out I lost a game. Oh, well.)
News
FWIW, I feel like real news can be just as stressful as "fake news".

About That Social Media Burnout
It's a sad state to think that anyone's relevance is based on the number of "streaks" one does on Snapchat, or whatever. Is this how far we've come as social creatures in this century? The Millennials need to realize that social media does not define who they are. But I can understand how addictive it is. I look at my iPhone throughout the night to check in on Facebook just to see how many likes I may have gotten on something. I try not to stress over this though.
Winds of Change
I have noticed that some individuals are posting more self-depricating images/remarks to poke fun at those utilizing social media, like *cough* Instagram, to portray themselves, their vacations, homes, experiences, etc. as "perfect." That constant striving to keep up digital appearances is exhausting and perhaps meaningless...or at least that's the message I got from Netflix's "Nosedive," the first epidsode of season 3 of Black Mirror.

Cut down on social media
I understand because I know people that be on Facebook a lot and in the morning for hours at a time. I don't think that it is okay or necessary to be on social media like that. People should find something more better to do with their time.
