I don't use it. At all. But nevertheless I still have to deal with people constantly telling me that I need to use their 'app', and or only giving information in the form of a QR code. I still have to navigate around zombie-people staring at their phones while they walk around. I still have to deal with the fall-out of bad online interactions that kids have had. and so on. The attention-span issue that the green-text mentions results in a dumbing-down of news and media and basically all kinds of information sharing...

This stuff negatively affects me in obvious and measurable ways, even though I don't use any of the features of this 'tool'.
