You're right about the tone here being misjudged, but I don't think the effort is completely indefensible. It can be difficult to make qualitative choices about things that have become omnipresent, a perceived necessity. Adolescents who were born into notification culture in particular may find "don't like it, don't use it" harder than those of us who recall life pre-smartphone. Clearly many of us relish our connectedness, but there is some value to taking a moment to mull over the inherent tradeoffs. Definitely a few wrong notes here, but I liked the intention.
