  1. You have not been around very long if you think it has "ALWAYS been the biggest problem". The truth is that all of this only ever started with the rise of social media platforms.

  2.  @suppositorylaxative3179  @suppositorylaxative : I get that, but to imply this has been happening since the inception of the internet would be a distortion of facts.

  3.  @xq8152  @xq8152 : You can't blame you choosing to participate in it on anyone other than yourself. Nowadays, we don't have that choice anymore. Adds are thrown at us whether we want to or not, they are the first 3 (or more) results on every search engine page, they pop up in videos, they cover entire news pages. Additionally, as many studies have shown, the longer you are on social media platforms, the more right wing / hate speech / manosphere / misogynistic / racists content will be shown to you. The problem is how those social media platforms are intentionally (!) programmed to extract as much value from us as possible. Also, we could actually access all of the content we wanted, without any geo-blocking, no vpns necessary. None of those things were the case in the 80s and 90s. I know, because I've been there too. I've actually lived through it. A lot has changed, and a lot of it for the worse.
