The ultimate problem with ‘social media’ is not the ‘media’ half of the phrase.
Yes, there are problems with algorithms, and with moderation, and with bots, and so on.
But none of these are the ultimate problem.

Back from our recent trip with the #evoque it was time to give it the first decent polish since we bought it. Baltic Blue & “Sparkle” painted alloys came up pretty well 😊👍🏻 Just in time to do it all again 🤣🤞🏻
