I think Linus Torvalds says it best:
"I absolutely detest modern 'social media' -- Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. It's a disease. It seems to encourage bad behavior," he said in response to a question about the one thing he'd fix in tech today. "The whole 'liking' and 'sharing' model is just garbage. There is no effort and no quality control. In fact, it's all geared to the reverse of quality control, with lowest common denominator targets, and click-bait and things designed to generate an emotional response, often one of moral outrage."

A root cause, Torvalds said, is anonymity.
"When you don't even put your real name on your garbage (or the garbage you share or like), it really doesn't help." Instead, he said, people shouldn't be able to share or like things without proving their identity first.
