Dude is right, we should all care far more about this.
Ive always had a theory this is purposeful, allowing children to sour their futures sharing too much, to distract them from everything that matters to keep them controllable. Not to mention it robs them (and adults) of their ability to be happy with themselves.
I believe it’s far more sinister than we could imagine.
There are people that drive to work. They have faces, names. Every day, they knowingly work on something that poisons every child in the world. They run A/B tests and rat trap kids, using their company's monopoly on information.
Be careful what you work on, commits are forever
