I quit Instagram and Facebook and it made me a lot happier — and that's a big problem for social media companies

Harris was among the first to make the connection between neuroscience and social media, and question whether it's even possible for many people to use social media constructively.

Around the same time, I started to feel worn out with all the political infighting among friends, as well as idle thoughts from people I barely know. Facebook also seemed to gain popularity in that time with Baby Boomers -- my parents and their friends -- rather than the millennials who make up my social circle. So it was pretty easy to let go.

I made the same choice to leave Instagram and Facebook. To be honest, I miss Instagram a little. But without regret

You can turn off all emails and notifications from Facebook. I did it years ago. I still have an account to check on a couple groups who announce events there. I look at FB once a month. That's more than enough.

I’m a retired programmer and quit Facebook in July 2014. I left Zuckerberg a letter of discontent, asking that he stop the negative feed research. Pretty sure he did *not* read my comments. Never been sorry that I deleted Facebook.

Ur reporter hates reading that journalism is dead?

I did it too a long time ago. I’ve been so much happier and don’t miss it. Just joined Twitter, will be here until people start to annoy me, ha! We’ll see.

When you stop funneling money to Zuck, you instantly feel better?

Self-control is the single most important skill to develop in life. It allows you to do things without going overboard, including drinking, gambling, social media and other things that are easily habit-forming

It makes you harder to contact, say when someone wants you to write an anonymous op ed or an intelligence investigation report. Unlike someone at the nytimes .

She wasn’t bombarded with constant misinformation
