People are fucking weird — cameras in bedrooms and across the house for kids/teenagers that aren’t babies, using tracking apps like Life360 to watch every minute of their teenager’s life, as if they weren’t unsurveilled teens doing their own mischevious shit, tapping into their search history, looking through their private conversations with friends, and probably a million more things.
Being a kid under a helicopter parent in this technological era must fucking suck.
Yea the internet definitely has taken that trend to the extreme in recent years, especially with businesses which don’t make their own websites anymore and host their social media on platforms like Facebook; of course along with individual communities slowly being herded into the corporate mega forum that is Reddit. Definitely not healthy to have all our human interaction/information controlled by these entities especially as we move into the age of artificial intelligence.
Yeah exactly — Reddit hasn’t been profitable ever. Probably explains why they fired the person who actually was hired to do celebrity AMAs and leaving it to volunteers. Celebrity AMAs are probably one of the better ways to attract attention, but of course are pretty expensive.
