Isnt the best option to never have started using social media and creating that loop in the first place?

  The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.

  I think that's true generally but: - It's possible that social media changes some peoples' lives for the better. (I do have a few friends who married people they got to know on social media, and I know the good things that have happened to me because of social media outweigh the real but less significant harms.) - It's possible that the thing one replaces social media ("replace, don't resist") with outweighs the harm they received from social media too. - I think we're mostly trying to work with practical solutions of how to mitigate harm instead of wishing we could change the past.

  That's not an option though, is it? Not for those already affected.
