Social media, to me, is groups. Different groups that I associate with. There's family. There's close friends. There's youth sports, which I'm actively involved in. There's funny "I know what I have" groups, poking fun at people wanting way too much money for things.

It is what you make of it. If you make $16/hr and you follow people who post short videos from their yacht, you're gonna have a bad time. If you drive a 1991 Ford Taurus and you follow people who have $4M in vehicles, you're going to have a bad time. If you can't fucking stand your Aunt Suzy with her hot takes, yet you have her listed as a close relative, you're going to have a bad time.

If you coach youth sports and you follow a few local area to fringe area groups, you will find camps/clinics/tournaments, keep up to date in the goings on, and have a good time. If you enjoy working on cars and you follow a few groups related to tips and tricks in that genre, you'll have a good time. If you really want to get into gardening, but don't think you can do it yourself, you can find a local group that does stuff in various community gardens, which will give you a push (in either direction) to help your curiosity about gardening.
