Strangely enough, I could already relate by seeing the title "Today's Loser," by Camryn B. I am today's loser, but someone else could be tomorrow's loser. Social media can really determine someone's status in popularity with the number of followers and likes. This generation is filled with hashtags, bottle flips, filters, and memes that we never thought could become viral. 

     

"Don't post that picture until 5 o'clock, when everyone is on Instagram. Maybe you should edit it too. Usually pictures with more likes are edited." Though I have an Instagram account, I am indifferent with the amount of likes my posts receive and my few followers. I mean, I still have Facebook. I always see my friends looking down, the bright screen illuminating their face. With social media platforms, there is no more face to face. It's just videos of satisfying slimes, memes, and jokes about politics.

I agree with what you are saying. What stand out the most for me was how today's loser is the internet and social media. The quote that stands out the most is " I watch others go through their day as social media junkies and realize that's not how I want to live my life" My reaction is that is so true for so many people who can't go a hour without looking at the social media outlets. I have social media but I feel it is not important enough to look at it every hour.
