@gabrielesvelto@mas.to It's also equating a medium (for reading, learning, social interaction, artistic expression, self-discovery, evasion of malicious authority, etc.) with one particular low-value use of that medium (brainrot drivel).

@dalias@hachyderm.io yes and also deliberately deflects what is causing the addiction. It's like saying that people who suffer from alcoholism have a problem with "bottle time".

@dalias@hachyderm.io @gabrielesvelto@mas.to it makes consuming brainrot a personal moral failing instead of addressing the manufacture and algorithmic distribution of brainrot. Same people who will talk about limiting screen time will also tell you that LLMs are inevitable and sure they can definitely replace teachers.
