And this darned, newfangled Internet thing. And don’t even get me started on printed, moveable type.
- the_sleaze9 3y agoThis is an incredibly myopic view, the "internet" is now composed of the most psychologically addicting programs known to man, and no one is safe. It's so powerful it's having meaningful negative impact on our democracy and meaureable impact on childrens' mental health. And here you are.
- mrguyorama 3y agoIt would be like if we completely deregulated all gambling and allowed extremely perverted betting systems and advertising all around encouraging addiction. Actually we are going in that direction with all the sports betting bullshit too.
- basisword 3y agoGet yourself a job at one of the social media giants, or one of the ad tech companies and see the investments they make into engagement and addicting young people to their apps and devices. It’s appalling. Not many kids are reading articles on the internet, they’re consuming TikTok for hours. The newfangled Internet thing can be a blessing and a curse, and it can curse some more than others.
