Hello everyone 👋 tonight we conducted a social experiment where we were able to reach millions of people with a few short tweets in the space of 3 hours. Tomorrow we will share everything with you. #instagramdown #facebookdown #whatsappdown #moresociallessmedia

Sadly, in 2017, 5,821 people in the UK took their own lives, and even more tragically, suicide is the leading cause of death in men aged 20-49 across the UK. #moresociallessmedia #instagramdown #facebookdown #whatsappdown @mentalhealth

And in the end, our over-reliance and addiction with social media makes us doubt ourselves and lowers our self-esteem, which more often than not causes serious mental health issues. Sadly, this is too common. #moresociallessmedia #instagramdown #facebookdown #whatsappdown

One of the key factors that influence us on social media is influencers or celebrities, many of whom promote products that young people are gullible enough to buy, just so they can get a pay cheque. #moresociallessmedia #instagramdown #facebookdown #whatsappdown

We now live in a world of impatience. We will open up a piece of content online and if we aren't interested in the first five seconds, there's pretty much a guarantee that we won't watch it. #moresociallessmedia #instagramdown #facebookdown #whatsappdown

There’s a difference between followers and reach/engagement.

When we seen the news about #instagramdown #facebookdown and #whatsappdown, we decided to conduct an experiment to see how reliant we are as a society on social media for our daily interactions with others. #moresociallessmedia

Being over-reliant on social media not only effects our self-esteem, but it can drastically effect our mental health. Social media addiction is real, despite how much we want to tell ourselves that it is not. #moresociallessmedia #instagramdown #facebookdown #whatsappdown

Having low-self esteem often leads to an over-reliance on social media. And when we don't have this access, we panic and have a fear of missing out. We seen this with the blackout of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. #moresociallessmedia #instagramdown #facebookdown #whatsappdown

Unfortunately, we live in a digital world in which we constantly compare ourselves to other people. Very often we aspire to be more like others, when we need to be kinder to ourselves. #moresociallessmedia #instagramdown #facebookdown #whatsappdown
