Why I Left Social Media

"Getting off social media for me has been a way to reclaim my sanity, my time, my creativity, and my reflection," says Helen Blunden in this YouTube video reflection. "I got off social media simply because it wasn't providing me any value any more." That's not to say it never had value, she says. "Social media has opened up doorways to me," she says. But stopped providing any more value, and she got tired of being "sold to". And the way she responded to people was changing, but not for the better. "I don't want to follow the pack, and I felt at times Twitter was becoming too packish." The cons? "You become completely disconnected from people." People don't know about RSS or blogs; it's so much easier to just get on a platform. But this means she has been commenting more on blogs.
