the most recent version i've seen of this are my colleague software developers who don't give a rat's ass about the impact that their work will have on humanity so long as they keep getting paid almost a quarter of a millions dollars per year to pay for their investments and put their children is the best possible schools.
i think that external pressures will always force a person-vs-person conflict like your and my example to enable the goals of the platform.
I guess that's the price we pay for living in a mostly capitalist world. It sucks though. At least I've been able to keep my kids out of those things for 11 and 9 years. That alone I consider a win.
it is and it's the most that you can do given our situation.
