I agree with you, but ultimately you can't impose your values on other people (at least not without force), and so we gotta just let people be people.

- Jolter 5y agoI'm not sure what your point is. Should we stop discussing problems we see in society? Will the problem go away, then? Of course I can't (and wouldn't) force people at gunpoint to log our of their social media. Nobody is suggesting that. The article ("ledger") attempts to make an argument for a societal change. How would one start changing society, if one is not allowed to start gathering arguments/evidence in favor of the change one wants to see? "People be people", sure; if there wasn't a trillion-dollar industry profiting from people being hooked on social media and applying every trick at their disposal to keep people hooked, then you would have a point. No, it's not in people's nature to be hooked on scrolling Instagram. It's an entirely artificial problem that we have created together.
