Such an innocent and naive view can only be described as child-like. I was under the impression only a small child could legitimately believe businesses don't have the intention of maintaining the addictive practices that keep them profitable. Otherwise, why have we never seen nicotine-free cigarettes? Consider: if McDonald's had the power, right now, to rid the world of Ozempic - would they? I think absolutely they would. > Restrictions on young people. A cultural movement to regard use/overuse as uncool These are rather vague and not really how things have gone historically. Smoking stopped working because every doctor was telling you it would kill you. And then it became very, very hard to smoke. You couldn't smoke just about anywhere in public. And then you couldn't even smoke in your rental car, or apartment, or hotel. If you could only access Facebook in the confines of a property you own, I imagine it's use would plummet. I don't think a "cultural movement" could do that. Especially when such a cultural movement would need to take place ON Facebook. Because it's a platform.

  In my defense, I think just about any adult on Earth would have said exactly what I said. Not sure if that makes you feel better or not. To clear up why I'm so blunt about these things - there's a large influx of people who knowingly play stupid, and it's exhausting. What you're arguing is so obviously wrong and not even remotely in-tune with reality that I must assume you're either playing stupid or are really just that naive. Most likely you're a smart person with a brain capable of deducing even simple logic like "make them money = they continue practices". So you're probably just playing stupid, which I don't care for. "Know nothing" types aren't worth arguing with.

    There is no more data to feed. The agents are prodding us for RLHF.
