  Meta isn't just Instagram, and Instagram isn't just suicidal tendencies. You could just as well do the argument with any big company.

  I get depressed readying about mind-blowing tech on HN every day and feeling old and inadequate. YC, what are you doing?

  That's all of social media. I don't like what's happening there but I also don't see how Facebook engineers can change that. Closing Instagram just drives more people to TikTok which is arguably worse.

  Please don't post like this to HN. We've had to warn you about this many times before*. The slack here is finite and if you keep it up we're going to have to ban you. I don't want to ban you, so if you'd please fix this, that would be good. I'm not denying at all that the psychological well-being of young people is intertwined with social media and corporate interests in complex ways that deserve critique. But it's not ok to post snarky drive-by attacks on HN. Those are two separate things and it's the commenter's job to distinguish them. * https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33340849 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33340849 (Oct 2022) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30630713 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30630713 (March 2022) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27401192 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27401192 (June 2021) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19534285 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19534285 (March 2019) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17734563 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17734563 (Aug 2018) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16059003 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16059003 (Jan 2018) https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
