I'm not sure it stops there, either - I wonder if others feel the same. If every platform is doing this, then are they destroying the trust of online media (the internet?) in general? Facebook isn't exactly alone in its reputation of monetising people's attention and serving them dangerous content.
I'm eagerly waiting for the day when the elderly people in my family swear off the internet entirely.
I think it's more likely that the newer gens swear it off than the older ones, who have become thoroughly brain rotted by it. It's like they have no immunity. At least gen-z is more aware of the damage it does.
We're at the "hmm, I think smoking is probably bad for us" stage. Next up, serious attempts at quitting.
