+		<h1>Social Media</h1>
+		<p>I do not use social media.  I do not find social media to be meaningful.</p>
+		<p>Social media as I understand it is based on ``microblogging'', i.e. short posts about a person's life, thoughts, etc.  Social media is usually designed in a quick ``consumption''-oriented style, often leading to flamewars instead of in-depth discussions because of its ``quick'' and ``short'' nature.  Social media recommends new posts and people to people based on what they ``like'' and ``boost'' further creating an information cocoon, ``shielding'' them from new ideas, rather than allowing for natural human distribution of good articles.</p>
+		<p>Instead, I read and write <a href="/#articles">articles</a> and share those that impress me naturally.</p>
+		<p>Most popular social media services <a href="https://stallman.org/facebook.html">such as facebook</a> are also nonfree and have extra problems.</p>
