Social media is full of videos and images (instead of text) because that's what our dopamine receptors want. The reality is, if Facebook started showing less videos, more people would move to TikTok.

I think, as a society, we should actively "slow things down" and be more mindful and thoughtful of our emotions, actions, policies, and impact on a daily basis; but the audiovisualness of social media is 100% a symptom, and not a cause.
