Social media addiction is often blamed on users, but who is really responsible? We analyze the design of online platforms.
This conversation examines the tension between personal responsibility and the role of algorithmic design in shaping our habits. We look at the argument that older generations built addictive systems and are failing to address the consequences, while also critiquing the idea that public spaces can solve digital overconsumption.
If you are interested in tech ethics or how social media addiction affects our daily lives, this discussion provides a critical look at the generational blame often attached to the crisis. We break down whether changing our environment is enough or if the platforms themselves need fundamental shifts.
