> On the one hand, I absolutely want to preserve the kind of benefit we received growing up. On the other, the Internet looks nothing like it did when I was a kid. This is how I feel, too. Nothing like TikTok or YouTube Shorts existed while I was growing up. I know how dangerous those are to me, I can't imagine how dangerous they could be to children. Mostly because anything I come up would probably be a wild overestimation, but I won't know by how much. Rather than rotting my brain away with shorts as a child I spent my time trying to find every possible way to game every possible system. That was my idea of fun. Still is, though it's gotten harder and harder for me to find systems that are easy to game, because the types of systems you encounter as an adult tend to have already been gamed to death by everyone else.
