I once watched IG Reels for about 10 min. It feels just like I’m some kind of test subject, evaluated based on my reaction and fed triggers that would get the best test result. How is it “social” when you have nearly 0 control over what you get?
It is very concerning. It feels no different to a slot machine. I try my best to not sound like a douche christian mom shitting on MTV but something needs to be done.
Its not any different than a slot machine. But no gambling allowed for under-aged folks. Only a social “tool” weaponizing peer pressure and all the worst parts of Western individualiam/alienation is good enough for our children
