Social media is just designed to release dopamine, not for connecting people

In this 3rd episode of EdTech Founders from EdTech Garage we interview Santiago Cabanas Oyarzun, the founder of Loop Media, a company taking on the social media industry by providing unfiltered news for youth, based out of Spain. We talk about: The importance of user testing, negative side effects of filter bubbles, getting a team that can execute and more. Outtakes from the conversation: "…we've definitely been talking to a lot of users - sending them the first versions, seeing exactly how to build it out. But, one thing is to have a conversation. And the other thing is to see how they're actually using it with metrics. " "Maybe you're scrolling through Instagram, and you like burgers, it's okay that it just keeps giving you burgers and barbecue content. And you don't want to see vegan content. But, when it comes to politics, it's a bit different. We think." "And definitely, the big idea is what motivates them - not building a blog aggregator, but taking on the social media industry and the media industry."
