And they say there's some sort of so-called mental health crisis... - eviltoast

    If someone is engaging in a certain kind of content, I would argue that’s the content they want to see. It might not be what they enjoy seeing, or what’s good for them, but you can’t seek out right wing content and then tell me you don’t want to see right wing content. At some point, there has to be a level of personal liability here.

        Is that supposed to be some grand statement? Yeah, I enjoy occasionally posting on stuff like this - never said otherwise.

          No, see they are miserable so you must be miserable.

          They don’t want to not engage with these services that they know manipulate them but choose to do so anyway but deny any responsibility for their own actions because those same algorithms told them they aren’t responsible.

        If they’re getting inundated with it to the point it’s affecting their actual mental health, then they obviously need to change something. Whether it’s the quantity or the quality of the content they consume. Logging off and going outside is always an option.

          Well now you’re just contradicting yourself. If someone is getting inundated with certain content that it’s affecting their mental health, then that’s not content they want to see. That’s like saying if someone is being bullied, it’s because they want to be bullied otherwise they’d change.

          Logging off and going outside is always an option.

          For the rest of their lives?

          And I thought this was what they wanted to see?
