I think the problem is bigger than the young author would like to admit. She's correct that Zoomers probably have it worse than previous generations as the victims of a psychological capitalism that seeks to profit by hollowing out their sense of self worth. But I think those forces got started a while ago. Companies were already clawing at people's attention in various ways, and treating it rather like a science, well before those efforts were distilled into algorithms. Maybe the bigger problem is society's tolerance of mega companies that become so large that no one employee feels responsible for their abuses.
