I remember what made me quit facebook, way before it became Meta: the TV serie Person of interest. It gave me a big awarness of the scale of mass surveillance. I already had the project to quit because of Zuck’s shenanigans and the lack of interest i had in the platform, but this was the last straw for me.
I think one has to really think about what youtube is to them. Because if you need heroin, you wont use anything else. Folks need to understand why dark patterns are poison first.
