  • This and Linkin are as close as I get social media and I’ve never been interested in nor have I availed myself of any of the dating apps. So I will openly admit a level of ignorance when it comes to the negative effects of phones. And I’m well aware of the dark patterns and engagement tactics used by mainstream social media and dating apps. So I can understand that they have an impact on people forming new and romantic relationships. I just see the structural and systemic issues as being far greater than just sitting on your cell phone swiping left.

    Do I wish people would get off the phone and start talking to the people around them. Yes, but that in itself is not going to change our society and how we support our younger and new generations.



  • Yeah that’s the problem, not climate change, 20% of young people being left behind by the economy, spending 30% of salaries on housing if they are lucky, medical costs, general cost of living.

    Oo lucky enough to have a kid? Get ready to pay $500/w for daycare, cost for a birth $20,000, school o sorry they all good defunded so get ready to play for private school.

    But yeah let’s blame phones and not anything related to the obvious systemic issues so we can preserve the status quo.
