there are two kinds of hackers

those with children

those without

as a hacker without children because i got priced out of the market, why should i care about what tiktok does or ceases to do?

honest question, if tough to answer

or maybe i'm only trying to explain why I don't have a model of being in a formative state.... I mean, dogs don't use tiktok

Because you want to live in a society where people have the attention spans necessary to e.g. drive cars safely without distraction and you want people to not be so vastly ignorant at scale that they collectively endorse or tolerate fascist behavior from governments and corporations?

have you considered the fact that you have to co-exist in the same space as other people, and that negative societal outcomes can also harm you?
