Seems like an unnecessary personal attack and clickbait headline, when Drew is self-aware enough to admit that this is a system-level cultural issue without any real solution proposed here:

- m0zg 5y agoI hate to break it to people, but children _are_ participants in a consumerist, capitalist system. And it is, as the saying goes, the worst system, with the exception of all others. The better adapted they are to this system by the time they are 18, the easier their lives will be.

That is extremely valuable, and I will not agree with anyone who whines about his ways of doing things without offering a viable alternative.
