And the price will always go up until there is an alternative to curb demand. There won’t be an alternative until people in this country start to demand regional rail in their states, stop acting like public transit is something that can only exist in a major city, and actually invest in the public transit in their cities. “BuT I LiKe DrIviNg!” then drive to your girl’s house or the grocery store. But you should have the OPTION to use the bus or light rail or whatever to get to work/school.

I guess we should get rid of sweet foods as well, as people can get addicted to that and it can lead to obesity.

Are you going to ban alcohol as well because that’s a neurotoxin?
Maybe you put down the pop science magazine for five seconds and understand that a single study, or even five studies, does not a consensus make. You sound like moms against video games or whatever the hell like it was called it back in the 2000s.
Also, great job completely ignoring the point about non-incorporated vectors for engaging with short form videos don’t have enough content for you to continuously scroll.

Is it so wrong to want to watch a funny video from time to time on the bus? IMO the best thing about loops, piefed or whatever is that there’s so little on here that you can open your app of choice for about 30 minutes to an hour and then be done for the week.

Companies make a little money selling your information. It is better to assume that any information you hand over to a private entity will be sold. It doesn’t matter if they say that it isn’t going to be at that time. Should they ever fold your information goes to the first bidder.

When did I say it’s okay? I just said this is nothing new, it’s not an anomaly. You should be outraged, but don’t act like a for-profit company isn’t going to chase profit incentives, and if they are incentivized to sensationalize, they’re going to sensationalize. If they end up making more money from an outright lie after any litigation, they’ll tell a lie.

Unlike a professor who would reject a student’s unsubstantiated claims, a for-profit entity won’t care about evidence unless its absence hurts profits. And you can say that about nearly any commercial news or journalistic organization. Establishing an equitable and high standard of education is the only true way to combat this, and that’s not happening in our lifetime

I guess, but inflammatory and sensationalist headlines have always existed.

If said reporter can’t present quantifiable data/evidence, then maybe they shouldn’t write the article?
