A few strange things you will miss when deleting social media that are nonobvious.

1. Some companies will not look at your resume or do business with you unless you have a LinkedIn account, especially in the age of AI. Fine by me.

2. If you go to start a business, you will find most of these social media companies require you to have a personal account in order to make a business/marketing account. This is very annoying.

3. Damn I miss Facebook Marketplace. But it's not worth having FB. You can usually have a friend do marketplace stuff for you.



For point #2, I've started evaluating business ideas by how much I can either outsource social media posting or not need it at all. Preferably the latter.
