How does this even work?

If they post a lot then stop posting as often?

Talking about running away?

I know the younger generations have more of an online presence but I wonder what they have in their risk factors.

They just want to log everything, and they thought this was the reason that would sound most reasonable to the general population (hopefully they can blame AI for choosing this reason, because it is very poor).
