#DefundTheMedia

Stop giving your attention to a medium that makes money by provoking you.

Stop clicking on misleading headlines.

Stop getting into arguments with people you haven't met.

Go outside and talk to people.

1/
If I tell you that your best friend thinks you’re a loser, you’ll feel hurt by your best friend.

If you then discover that I was lying to you and your friend didn't say that, you’ll realise that it was in fact me who hurt you.

2/
Ask yourself: are you hurt by reality, or by your distorted perception of reality?

3/
Stop making things go viral. We have enough problems with viruses as it is.

4/
Stats, not edge cases.

5/
Social media is antisocial.

6/
You don't need to sign a petition to defund the media, you just need to stop giving it your attention.

Sign out.

Switch off.

It’s beautiful outside.
