Ask HN: Do you regret using Social Networking apps?

I have the impression that even the owners of the apps have lost control of the algo and that it's really being detrimental to people's lives

I have stopped using most soc-networking sites mainly because everything is endless ragebait.
The human brain tends to focus more on negative feelings than positive ones and algos sure know how to optimize that for their own profits.
Not to mention it creates a warped sense of view of humanity and seeing demons in people when there is none.
