how do you think instant gratification from TikTok and YouTube today will impact 13 year olds when they're 25? i think about this a lot

call me a doomer but i think we'll look back in 10-20 years and realize that tiktok was really bad for the brain development of children

Not a doomer but it’s also nothing new, all the Guinea pig children of the 80s and 90s being prescribed amphetamines during their developmental years is a historical parallel

yeah definitely not "good" but i wouldn't say its the worst thing, we used to say the same about how videos games were ruining children's lives in the 80s

brains will adapt, humans will adapt, it'll be very different in 15 years but i don't think it's "for the worst"
