The business model of current social media growth engines is designed around consumerism and addiction as a profit-maximizing mechanism. The mission of LifeBonder is to break social media addiction and toxicity by providing a network that lives up to the promise of what social media can be: A tool to facilitate human connections rather than replacing them. Furthermore, concerned by the noticeably declining mental health in young adults, LifeBonder avoids implicating any social media features contributing to the rising issue.
