Comparing alcohol to social media is a joke. Here's the difference: no liquor company has a team of engineers in a war room mapping out your kid's high school, A/B testing peer pressure tactics, and deploying behavioral nudges to hook them faster. But that's exactly what big tech does — weaponized algorithms, real-time targeting, addiction by design. One's a substance. The other's surveillance capitalism dressed as an app.

When you say that, I think about how a distillery could possibly have an algorithm team researching how to make your kid addicted, but tech companies are really doing this.

They really treat kids like leeks to be harvested, with algorithm engineers figuring out how to make them addictive—this is even more ruthless than poison.

A pretty eye-opening perspective: tech companies are indeed much more insidious than alcohol.

Once you start flooding the screen, you simply can't stop; it's truly been designed that way.

Upon reflection, it's indeed suspicious. The tech company's approach is much more ruthless than that of alcohol manufacturers.
