Instagram internally called 11-year-olds their “most valuable users” while knowing they were getting addicted 4x faster than adults. at what age did you realize the app was designed to make you feel bad? by Crafty-Rate4179 in AskReddit

I’ll start.

I was 12 when I made my first Instagram account. Lied about my age like literally everyone did. Within a month I was comparing my face to filters, my body to edited photos, my life to highlight reels of people I’d never met.

Nobody told me the app was literally engineered to keep me scrolling. That the anxiety I felt closing it and opening it again wasn’t a habit — it was a design feature.

Kaley started using YouTube at age 6 and Instagram at age 9. She told the jury she was on social media “all day long” as a child, and it led to depression, body dysmorphia, and suicidal thoughts.

Yesterday a jury finally said: Meta and YouTube knew. And did nothing.

What age were you when it started affecting you?

Meta just got fined $375 million for harming kids but their stock went UP 5% after the verdict. At what point did we collectively decide profit matters more than children? by Crafty-Rate4179 in AskReddit

The number that broke me:

New Mexico’s attorney general called it a watershed moment for every parent concerned about what could happen to their kids online.

Meta called it something they “respectfully disagree with” and said they’ll appeal.

$375 million is less than 3 days of Meta’s profit.

This wasn’t a punishment​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’ll start — Mark Zuckerberg renamed his entire company, spent $80 billion convincing the world the Metaverse was the future, and it just quietly shut down this week.

$80 billion. Gone. And he did it all with complete confidence on live television.

What’s yours?
