People are willing to accept that Electronic Arts would intentionally design something to be mentality unhealthy, but not the Chinese government lol

well, considering they released it upon their own people first, would be really dumb.

Your right, China historically is very good to its own citizens

There isn't some weird Chinese conspiracy, the world has just gotten that bad at self control

Like why doesn't society push back against people who think it's okay to watch tiktok for literal hours at a time?

If someone watches porn and jerks off for literal hours a day, everyone would agree that person is gross and wasting their time

Explain to me how tiktok is different

Hmm....maybe our society sucks and puts too much of the wrong kind of pressure - grades, getting into college, etc - on young people these days.

No. It's Tik Tok that's wrong!

Why not both

Did we? The thing scrolling tiktok most reminds me of is scrolling through cable channels back in the day, looking for something to watch

It's not that the behavior is different, it's the delivery system. Our brains just aren't well equipped to deal with so much data so quickly.

Everyone agrees that capitalism and materialism suck but all they do is make memes about it
