I didn’t bother asking my kids what’s their opinion regarding cigarettes.

  social media is more like crack or some other terrible drug

    Really? It bankrupts its users? People can't hold a job because of it? People will rob stores to get more money to use more social media? It causes families to painfully detach themselves from addicts?

      it does because it eats away all valuable time and turns people into slaves and consumers instead of creators of value

        It's ok to admit that you're wrong and that it's not like crack or some terrible drug.
        • b20000 3y ago
          it’s ok to have a different opinion and not lecture other people how yours is better

      Those behaviors aren't limited to substance addiction--perhaps most well known is gambling addiction. It's no secret that technology companies (especially social media companies) spend billions coming up with ways to keep users on their apps/services. Engagement is a palatable way to measure addiction.

  You probably should. Many of my school friends started experimenting with tobacco and marijuana in elementary school, which were the prevalent vices of my time. Kids are autonomous humans with free will, and despite what many adults think, they have opinions worth listening to.

    Why? They’re 5 years old. I dgaf what their opinion is—smoking is bad. Period.
