I think you're suffering from a lack of empathy. That doesn't mean OS age verification should be implemented or not, but that you're going to be insufferable and pretty ignorant about what's going on.
IMHO, the popularity of age-verification is due to the increasing awareness of the harms of much online activity, plus the impracticality of putting the whole burden of mitigating that for children onto the shoulders of parents. If you flippantly and contemptuously ignore those concerns, people will be happy to ignore your concerns.
And since you brought it up: honestly, I wouldn't feel bad "punishing" you with this policy, just because of the attitude displayed in your comment. It's needlessly aggressive and making contemptuous assumptions. Your comment actually shoots your position in the foot.

- palmotea 7mo ago> I am increasingly in belief that more of the world will be split into the cattle camp and the cattle with agency camp. "Cattle camp"? Seriously? FYI: you're off the rails if you use terms like "sheeple" unironically. I suggest you get help for that. > I am not interested in your “this will be good for society” bs. You also need to work on your reading comprehension. > I don’t have to be empathetic to you or your “well I have an argument to help make the world worse” ideas and beliefs... You're not going to get far acting self-righteous and pissing on other's legitimate concerns because you labeled them "mak[ing] the world worse." > ...you... ignore opposing beliefs and criticisms. Look in the mirror.
- righthand 7mo agoYou’re in denial if you think the average person isn’t being turned more and more into cattle. Yes seriously, cattle camp. > And since you brought it up: honestly, I wouldn't feel bad "punishing" you with this policy, just because of the attitude displayed in your comment. > You're not going to get far acting self-righteous and pissing on other's legitimate concerns Look in the mirror as well. You started with the “punishing you just because”.
- palmotea 7mo ago> Look in the mirror as well. You started with the “punishing you just because”. You actually introduced the "punishment" framing, which I think was unhelpful so mirrored it back to show that. You should also note that I scare-quoted it. And the point I was making was your attitude is harming your own advocacy.
- righthand 7mo agoYou’ve already rejected the advocacy why would I be trying to convince you of anything?
- palmotea 7mo ago> You’ve already rejected the advocacy why would I be trying to convince you of anything? Dude, you need to step back and carefully re-read this thread. You have no idea what's going on, and seem to be trying to compensate for your ignorance with aggression. You have an attitude problem, you're not going to be able to convince anyone of anything. And what's your reaction to being told about that? Show the same problem, over and over.
- righthand 7mo agoPlease go away. I do not need to do any of that, you’re just upset I don’t slip down the slope with you. Have fun with your age verification software. I may have introduced framing but you made the threat of punishing me. You have an attitude problem, you just can’t accept that you’re cattle with no agency and helping build your own prison.
