I would absolutely rather my kid be addicted to reddit 10 years ago than reddit today, for example. MySpace over Twitter, for another.


Good. This won't be well received here because many that read HN are either just working in social media companies or directly on the teams responsible for addicting children. They don't like the idea that what they're doing is destroying the minds of a generation (and a half, at this point).


Looking at the generation you're describing, they are more informed and more tolerant than many in the generation that came before. Although they do have quite a bit of anxiety... Perhaps justified, since their informed position means that they have a hard time ignoring the looming disasters the generations before them primed, most of whom will die off before the dominoes fall.

If this is destruction, it's the most creative of destruction.

But whatabout the other guys????

Are you a child?


Good question, you should ask the maintainer that. I'm speculating about their possible motive for abusing the FLOSS ecosystem in such a destructive way, not trying to justify their behavior or anything.


That's probably why you don't get paid that sort of salary.
