Just a brief random thought here, before I go off and try to do something productive with my existence:

I got to wondering if ALL social media is basically one form of SPAM or another. 

I mean... sure, we "opt in" by reading things, but I look at some of these people who send tweets to twitter every time their nose twitches, or pictures of every bite of a taco they take goes to Instagram.

*I'm going to go walk on the beach...*

The reason I was thinking about this was that I was telling a friend that my twitter account was actually over ten years old, and he declared *"Yeah, that social media stuff is just too spammy for me."*

Although I am a regular user of social media... from Steemit to Facebook... I can appreciate his perspective, and even empathize.

In fact, I have actually gone on complete hiatuses from social media for *months* at a time because it felt like it had all become a wall of *noise,* with pretty much *zero signal* to be found, anywhere. And so I quit, and found myself pondering the question *"How does this contribute to any kind of a meaningful life, if it contributes, at ALL?"*

I don't have a good answer to that, by the way...

*Springtime!*

In most cases, I have only been able to rationalize most mainstream social media as a *marketing tool* for business ventures, rather than anything of *personal interest.*

And with this Steemlandia gig — which I like, because there *does* seem to be a certain sense of community here — I have pretty much dropped *off* other social media, expect for business related situations.

But IS social media basically just a giant spamfest?

Still pondering that...

Hope you are all having a great day!
