Social media platforms serve many functions, and most of us find ourselves using them as either creator or consumer.

There was a time, perhaps seven or eight years ago, when social media was the reason why we took photos at all. Today, social media is less about the fancy meal you ate and more about the careful curation of your personhood across the many platforms that cover the spectrum of your personal, professional and political identity.

Through this post, I ask you to share what you use social media for—either as a consumer or a creator, and the aspects of it you particularly like and dislike.
