Mike Mondo reveals why he'll quit social media
In a surprising revelation, Mike Mondo disclosed his intention to quit social media due to its perceived toxicity.
He expressed concerns about the negative impact of social media on individuals, especially young people, and stated that he would delete all his social media accounts when he decides to leave the media industry.
"The day I quit media, I will delete all my social media accounts. I find it a space that I have outgrown. It's so toxic to the point that it is ruining people rather than building them. I will delete and say, Nimetoka social media. I don't like what it's doing to young people," Mondo asserted.
