Inverse Polarization and Anti Social Media

Bob explains to X the alien what social media are and how humans use them. What are social media influencers? What’s the target audience for each social media?

They also get into a discussion on if social media is good or not and how it has changed people’s behaviors in the last years…and what might be coming next with Artificial Intelligence (AI)! Do they have social media on Curio? How do influencers work there? X is an alien that has chosen to do its PhD on "Habits and Behaviors of Multicellular Neural Pre-Enlightenment Organisms'', which includes humans.
