I think you are mostly right. Still, I would like for my kid to be raised in an environment, where screen stimulation is not constant. While I do have control over that in my house ( and currently she is too young to be properly addicted by feedback loops yet ), in its current state, I am at a loss for what to do when goes to school and this problem is not solved yet. I want there to be a choice ( just like with cigarettes ) and I just hope it will somehow become less popular for one reason or another. Right now.. the only thing that changes is the app name. Anecdotally, my wife's cousin proudly proclaimed she does not use FB, but only Insta and TikTok. I was happily buzzed at that point and I did not want to start an argument so I just took another shot. edit: typos

> I want there to be a choice. I agree. To be more nuanced, I think I want it to be a deliberate choice. Something someone stopped, thought about and said "yes, I want to do this". Because, they have made the tradeoff for themselves. The issue for me is that it's ubiquitous. When something is ubiquitous it becomes the default. I am privileged enough to function outside of social media. But for most, I think it's basically a requisite to function in society.
