> the world became accustomed to that and moved on I used to have a similar opinion, but some young kids made me aware of an entirely different perspective. The young world seems to be waiting. There are those who jump on every hype to kill boredom or to compensate, those we all see and, I'll be honest here, who we all pity. But then there are those who couldn't get inspired and stimulated in that rather short window between the birth of awareness and that infinite moment when the dark patterns of big tech and the marketing industry hit them like a 2 mile-long freight-train. They can't move on; they are paralyzed. And society acts like they need reeducation. Some people call it the "enshittification" of the internet and culture itself, which makes it worse because the term just creates another hype. The underlying issue are obedient engineers just doing their job instead of _simply_ (because they are damn good) being the better and much brighter competition. Rationalism and game theory have fooled the smartest into conformity.
