Reason #1: It’s Your Time They Profit Off Of
Time = Revenue.
Companies like TikTok and Meta make money EVERY SINGLE second you spend on their platforms.
In 2023, Meta made over $131 billion in ad revenue, just from selling your attention. The more you spend on a platform, the more ads you see — and the more money the company makes.
We’re not saying social media is evil.
What we are saying and what our core ethos is at [sei] is that we are not getting a good return on our investment, which is why the content we always produce is high-value as best as we can.
Most of what we consume online today is the opposite. We’re constantly fed low-value content, with an algorithm that is designed to expose every human behavior, psychological trick in the book, and even the 2024 word of the year was literally Brain Rot.
And our generation is consuming so much of it, it’s making tech companies rich, while leaving us more distracted, divided, and drained.
Dino Ambrosi, one of our campaign sponsors, said it best in his viral TED Talk:
“Social media isn’t free. You pay for it with your time.”
So the question is: How much is your time really worth?
Any additional time outside of your worth, you are getting ripped off.
