We must, at some point surely, reach an inflection where even everyday people are sick of this shit and start smashing their phones right?
There has always been "unpluggers" [0] amongst technologists, but the vibes are bad and getting worse. I feel like that is getting more common between "normal" people I know, but maybe outside of my country town bubble its not happening.
I was thinking we're only one or two big influencers away from a cascade, but then the ultra-influencers are never really going to commit because its their livelyhood and saying throw your phone away is self-limiting on the viral aspect.
I guess we're just stuck under the boot.

Never underestimate the ignorance of the average person…
I am talking about those people who consume content while ads blink around the content in a all four directions and they don‘t even actively notice.
Most people I know who are bombarded by worthless updates every minute either ignore them but don't bother to disable any or are glued to their phones anyway, so they are beyond help.
