It feels to me like smoking. A generation was there at the start of social media, got addicted and now can’t quit. Their kids see them doing it and they do the same. Eventually they’ll realise the negative side of it and they’ll try to stop their kids from getting in to it (but won’t quit themselves).



I suspect the analogy between this kind of media consumption and smoking will prove to be far more analogous than we'd like to admit.
