Absolutely not, but then I don't do social media.

Online sites where you generally post under your real identity, and connect with people you know IRL. As I mentioned elsewhere, people do socialize here, and an online forum is a communication medium, but here the whole is less than the sum of the parts. I see sites like this that feature anonymity and asynchronicity as quite distinct from sites like facebook, linkedin, twitter, etc. which are usually closely linked to RL relationships and activities.

Well I feel very persuaded by this article to read more books but I don't feel there's any need to change my social media habits (which are weak anyway) for that purpose. If I understood the calculations correctly, I only need to read about 1-2 hours a day to achieve the goal in the article, I could easily extract that from the time I spend on doing practically nothing instead.
Kind of rude to say TV is "TRASH". There is good stuff on there sometimes. I think, probably.

I agree about forums like this one having a recognizable difference from more personal less anonymous social media sites, feels weird grouping them together. Though both would be considered a waste of time by the author (and most people) I guess.
