About this episode
One major drawback to the social media giants, Facebook and Twitter, is how vulnerable users are to unwanted attention. It’s always a bummer to see Aunt Linda crash a perfectly good comment thread on Facebook, and equally a bummer to get trolled by random followers to a joke you post on Twitter. Not to mention how depressing it is to see that apparently all of your friends are always doing better than you in every aspect of life.
Where can we go to feel comfortable on social media? Where do you have the most fun? Which is the biggest necessity? And in the end, is it all just another means for advertisers to pitch products to you?
VICE contributors Grant Pardee and Alison Stevenson spoke with Matt Ingebretson, a comedian and writer for The Soup’s web content, to dig deeper.
