The computer games I used to play are nothing like the stuff my son is playing. Its not just a matter of how much time is spent. They are the same as social media, engineered for maximum engagement, contain ads or try to sell you something

Reading comments here looks like most of the commenters didn't read past the title. This is not the same as a privacy screen protector. The screen hardware itself can dynamically protect parts of the screen on demand down to pixel leve

I'm typing this on one right now. I honestly thought the same but I got used to it within a day or two of use. Its muscle memory at this point.
