ow yea that’s pretty wild stuff. I was tracking down family history on ancestry.com and found my old hometown paper . Searching for my grandpa came up with articles from 1960 where it literally described who my grandparents had over for Sunday dinner out on the farm each week . where the kids- my aunts, uncles etc were staying over the night. I think one of them detailed what specifically they ate. It was a headline titled “area happenings”

Oh yeah....gossip rags from yesteryear are always interesting to read. Especially when they threatened to publish the names of everyone behind on their subscription fees.
The basic premise of the thread though....
Dunno if it's true or not.
Where the sensational stuff gets lots of views. The "mundane " does not. But more people are needing the mundane information more than what JayZ's hairstyle is.
There's a thing with stocks and bond trading....called glamor stocks. And basically if a stock is receiving a LOT of press its a glamor stock....meaning those who really want to make money in the stock market stay away from those stocks. Meaning I don't need to know what is currently the "hot stock picks". 99% of the people who lose money in the market are actively playing glamor stocks.

yes, for these reasons: 1. when conversing with someone you don't know, you can tend to be more open simply because they never have seen you! how many times have people finished a text & said, "wow, i shouldn't have said that" but what's the difference, they don't know me"! 2. mere attention. 3. loneliness. 4. just don't care what anybody thinks. 5. bored. 6. a true heart felt emotional longing to speak to humans.
Absolutely 💯
People use social media for various of reasons. For me I pray that I use it for God's glory and not my own. People use it as a dumping grounds, as a way to manipulate others, gaining things from others whether it's sympathy or other. We always need to guard our hearts, test the spirits and pray to the Lord when we are online. If there's every an opportunity satan can get a foothold it is definitely on the world wide web. I have seen friendships destroyed, people taken their lives over things posted, words and reputation being slammed and so many other things. It truly can be used for evil. I share if I sense someone is in need of encouragement, or the fires I have walked through with God, witness to God's amazing faithfulness. But as far as being a dumping ground - who knows who's listening and not all people are good people for your best interest online. People show their true selves online sometimes having a false sense of security. AG
