Well, yes... so? Yes it is more accessible. Yes its more interactive. Your narrative of evil corporations manipulating mankind into obedient consuming of entertainment is basic cheaping out on simple human flaws - we want to relax, we can be horribly inefficient and achieve nothing and still be OK with it. We are all like that to some extent, in certain times. Advertisement being pushed is just extension of marketing that has been around since TV. Its just industry adapting to new means, nothing more.

>Your narrative of evil corporations manipulating mankind into obedient consuming of entertainment Those are your words and your personal characterization of what I said, not mine. I see what you are trying to do. >Its just industry adapting to new means, nothing more. Are you implying that these practices, which can have awful consequences (distractions are the number one cause in car accidents[0], and they have skyrocketed as of late; I wonder why...) shouldn't concern anyone? That we shouldn't think critically about it even though it has been influencing our lives like nothing else before in the last decades? Look, I'm not trying to force anyone to stop using their smartphones; you can do whatever you want, of course. I'm just trying to voice my opinion on a matter that I believe to be of extreme importance.
