Is social media contributing to male depression?

Could write an essay about this, but trying to be brief: the big issue might not be with people looking at "rich and famous Youtubers and their Lambo", the issue might start with the flow of unverified and unchecked information coming around with an "officiality" aura due to being posted on Facebook, Twitter or whatnot.

I'll explain it better: since the beginning, Internet discussion centers - be them forums, BBS or chat rooms - have been mostly populated by people with either questions or complaints. The classic example is researching info to buy a car, a laptop or a TV: the overwhelming majority of the information you'll find will be about issues, problems and drawbacks; That's because somebody whit a brand new car or laptop which works fine will have no reason to go post somewhere "oh my new Dell works fine!", while the guy whose screen only displays pink will generate a lot of "content", in the form of questions and complaints.

Basically, the same happens with Social Media: you get an absolutely overwhelming majority of people posting "doom and gloom" stuff, a true "negativity machine". Even around boards, you get constant threads about how the "economy is ****", this is wrong, the [insert racist definition here] are invading the country, "drugs everywhere" and whatnot.

The difference is that back then, it was some shoite a neckbeard living in his parents' garage posted on an obscure Usenet corner, today..."it must be true, I read it on Facebook/Twatter/Whatever!".

Worshiping oneself is never a good idea.
