Do you think that social media platforms have negative effect on the way people view the world?

YES!

Yes, to some extent!

Yes, they do. They hamper an individual's thought process and the way they view a certain situation.

Sometimes but we are also in control of who we follow and interact with!

I personally think it all comes down to what you allow your algorithm to learn from you. It eventually builds on what you interact with and seem interested in, so it will show you more of that content. If you follow a lot of influencers that live the jet-set lifestyle you dream of but seems highly unattainable to you, you will feel bad and your self-worth might decrease because of this. If you follow friends and family and some people that inspire you to become a better version of yourself you'll feel completely different and feel encouraged by it because it shows the more 'real' side of society to some extent. I know everyone seems to be living their best lives on socials, but I think the people you follow and the way you interact with certain content shapes a lot of your overall experience.

I think that it can if you are following accounts that could have a negative impact on you. There are tons of creators who create educational and positive content that one can choose to follow too!

Definitely

Yes they do, but that mainly depends on how you use social media. There are many good reasons and ways social media has an impact on the world. Use it well!

Well, in my view it depends how you are using those platforms.

Yeah sometimes, social media encourage people for their unrealistic images and others want to copy them..

Definitely!

Yes, for most of the things

It depends on what content you are consuming rather on what social media is offering to its viewers.

Of course

Yep. These platforms allow you to create your own view of the world. Worse, though, they feed you content to get you to click, not because you like it. So your view of the world around you is made to change based on what you click on, not what you want it to be.

Yes, I'm sure! But it affects people's views in many different ways and levels... sometimes positively more often negatively. I think the best solution for this problem is to educate people and put valuable content in their social media feeds.

Yes, there are even a few studies about it. Search information about "filter bubbles" and the relationship between social media (with algorithms) and polarization of societies. That should give you more than enough information about the topic.

As people already said here, It depends on how you are using social media. The most thing I like about social media right now is that even if they are across the world I can easily find talented artists and interact with them. They are inspiring me in a positive way to work on my creativity.

Every facet of life has both good and bad sides. By choosing an optimization strategy, we can avoid social media's detrimental effects on people's perceptions.
