Which is why it's especially troublesome when we see _kids specifically_ being targeted with dopamine-addictive services like this. Get 'em when they're young and stupid, and they'll be your recurring revenue for the rest of their useless wretched lives. Why useless and wretched? Because they got hooked on dompamine hits from this, and never had the time to develop any skills which we, adults, lucked into developing due to not having these "services" which consume 5-8 hours of our kids' days, every day, for years on end. Quite simply I'm a software engineer today because I was bored out of my mind when I was 10 years old. There were only 3 TV channels (USSR), only about 30 minutes of children's programming a day, and no internet, let alone smartphones or Instagram. If there was all that, I'd be literally cleaning pig shit between dopamine hits from my smartphone.
