Critical Analysis of Social Media

A branch of social media studies that applies critical theory—particularly frameworks of power, ideology, and political economy—to understand social media not as neutral tools but as sites of exploitation, control, and ideological reproduction. It examines surveillance capitalism, algorithmic bias, platform labor, the commodification of attention, and the role of social media in political polarization and democratic erosion. Critical analysis asks whose interests platforms serve, how they shape perception, and what alternatives might look like. It is an essential corrective to techno‑utopian narratives.
Example: “Her critical analysis of social media showed that the ‘free’ platform was actually extracting data, attention, and emotional labor while offloading the costs of content moderation onto unpaid users.”

church hurt 

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.
I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
