It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks.

Well, yes, "why don't you care about things?" is a timeless problem. People don't like to see beyond the immediate. Probably because in pre-history, the creatures that focused on right now did better than the ones who went "but if we keep cutting down the trees, eventually it's going to cause problems."

Well, now we have many problems, and our brains have not advanced.
