No, this can’t be it, the kids are miserable just because of social media! All we need to do is ban social media and problem solved!
The old promise of entry-level work, where you find a position, learn the ropes, and make your way up, was already fading. Gen Xers and millennials can tell you that. But AI is quickening the unraveling, disrupting how young people find jobs—if they find jobs—and also what they confront when they get there. Gen Z is squinting into a fog, unsure of what’s coming, yet certain that disembodied decision-makers will have a say in it.
It couldn’t be that feeling like you have no future makes you depressed and unhappy!
Capitalism remains a problem.
I don’t think worker owner businesses would be so rabidly eager to do this AI shit. It’s ghouls and anonymous shareholders. People who don’t even work on the stuff being made.
Worker owned co-ops are definitely less prone to this kind of nonsense.

your posts in this thread were so masturbatory that I deleted them all before we got even more jizz on the carpet
Congrats on nuking half the thread.
oh were you using that half?
I would’ve liked the option to do so. Just ban people if they’re annoying but keep the comments up.
that’s great thanks
“lounge carpet smelling like piss” is not a thing many people want in their lounges
But what about the way abnegating our duty to smell piss infringes upon the other guy’s right to piss freely?
they can go piss themselves! over there somewhere. that isn’t here.
Yeah this is stupid because if you actually believe this than leave, what are you doing here?

Being the contrarian; someone needs to play the part.
the worst part of social media is you
If you’re a contrarian just because “someone needs to play the part”, ergo society expects someone to be a contrarian, aren’t you actually a conformist? #makesyouthink
I am not interested in anecdotes.

I can absolutely reject your anecdotes and I do.
And this has to do with the posted article how?
> there are already plenty of example cases where forcing the reduction of the use of social media improved the overall mental well being of children and adolescents
[citation needed]
There is so credible established body of research that determines any casual relationship between social media use and wellbeing.
Correlations? Sure tons of studies showing those arguably maybe.
Proof of causation?
Nope, there is none, they have attached theirself to a story/narrative that is more seductive than the truth.

@supersquirrel wow, it feels like a distopic cyberpunk novel/movie from the 80s.
