I love how everyone here is blaming something different: parents, Meta, advertisement, political divisiveness, urban planning, society, personal responsibility. Soon there will be more reasons, like violence and money. And they're right, sure. All of those are partially responsible.

But I feel we tend to give a pass to the people who are actually producing the content that is damaging a generation and making bank, as if they have no agency or responsibility.

Instagram would probably be great overnight if those people suddenly all disappeared.
