And where are the parents of Gen Zers and what are they doing to change this sad scenario of suffering screeners?? Do the 'rents read? Do they volunteer at schools? Limit screen time? Set an example by socializing ? Loneliness is incumbent upon teens; it's a part of individuation. But there are healthy ways to address it. Go to church.
Great Prose Alert for "meretricious monasteries" 👏👏👏
I still think the only logical solution is to have metering on these apps, tied to a phone's identifier so you can't switch accounts to get around it. The toll constant engagement takes on influencers and influenced alike is such that you'll never break them from the scroll without built-in limitations. Gen Z has been used as data-set guinea pigs by Meta and ByteDance, and as you so persuasively point out, continuous engagement is the currency of the realm. Time to snap the cycle.
