All you hear is negatives, what kind positives are there?

- I think be able to communicate with family and friends in a easy real time way is beneficial.
- To be honest it's a form of entertainment also.
- Sherdog forums is a form of social media and I think it's been more beneficial to me than damaging.
- You get to learn different things from all kinds of people that you probably will never meet, exchanging ideas.
- Possibility of meeting someone meaningful to your life.

Do anonymous boards really count? I am not sure.

Good question, but you are still using it for some sort of satisfaction. You wouldn't go on here if you weren't getting fix off it in some form.
 
too many to name. I learn about things all the time on all kinds of subjects and all kinds. Communication is a great upside, not that I do a lot of that but people who would formerly just completely drop out of people's lives forever because of a move or a change in jobs are able to stay in touch. Accessiblity to all sorts of people, I've communicated with several of the famous people's who's work Ive admired over the years, that would be much more difficult in the world I grew up in.

Of course there are just as many downsides but that wasn't the question.
 
People can show off their talents(music, art, etc). Unfortunately, 99℅ are talentless hacks who just make those stupid react face thumbnails. Fuck them.

On FB, groups which imo is what saved that platform. I post a lot in music and photography groups. As much as my local groups are filled with the biggest losers and douchebags in town, it's the quickest way to find out when anything is going on. I have zero use for twatter, instagram or whatever else. I don't consider message boards or youtube as social media although I can see why they might be classified that way.

Forums are not social media though, so Sherdog is not social media.
 
If you are a business owner, it's good for advertising. It is also good for keeping in touch with friends and family, and other social groups. It exists for entertainment as well. I would say the negatives outweigh the positives, however. We have created some terrible cultural norms now that are bad for mental health, well being, and morality. A society obsessed with fake appearances, likes, popularity and material wealth are all garbage side effects.
 
X informed me my kids' school was closed today due to snow so thats good.

I think sex workers advertise on social os thats good.
 
I guess people don't remember how much more complicated it was getting good porn for free before the Interwebz.

Btw, "all the free shit" should have been the #1 answer.
