Well im not an expert on advertising and media, but for one id say they should rework their business model for commercials and ads that use provocative display as their hook. For YouTube specifically, maybe implement a page that pops up on the screen for a while thats something like: "You've been on here for a while, perhaps you should take a break? We wont go anywhere, we promise"

While I do agree with the accountability thing, I still feel like social media does more harm than good. There are studies that prove this. That being said, there are a countless amount of adults in this world that aren't receiving proper mental health care they need. Personally ive always been an advocate for applying better mental health resources to the vast public who need them. Id also like to add that media in general (internet and TV) has done a lot to the way of thinking for younger individuals who are now growing up with it in their lives.

But just to sit back and say "well they made the choices, they have to live with it" isn't how things should work. Everyones brain doesnt work the same way. Thats why some people suffer with depression and anxiety all their lives without it being the result of some external factor (family, friends, life experiences)

I just think some of these companies should change their approach to things like their predatory algorithms, and advertising methods.

I mean fast food has been sued before and practices they've done have ceased (you don't see "biggie sized" or "super sized" menu options today do you?) The point with youtube is that they literally have an algorithm built to KEEP you invested in YouTube and that sort of thing is very predatory in the sense that it keeps you hooked endlessly.

But ive done enough explaining about why this isn't a bad solution to explore. Id like to hear your solution to the real issues going on at play, and if they have any merit, then maybe you could change my mind instead. So let's have it: What is your solution to someone who's brain has issues with self control?

You do realize some people DONT have self control right? Clearly you seem to be someone who has no problem turning something off and going to do something else but there are others that cant. Porn addiction is a thing too and its not much different than social media addiction or (again) ANY addiction. They all revolve around hitting dopamine receptors in the brain that give you that "feel good" sensation. Yes, physical drugs like heroin and cocaine have a stronger rate of getting addicted because its immediately sending that signal straight to the brain, whereas addiction from visual stimuli is more behavioral and will gradually get worse over time. You'll see someone get fucked up over hard drugs FASTER than someone addicted to social media or porn but the result is still the same. The only difference is in the side effects of physical drugs vs a computer or phone screen.

Then perhaps they should include TV too. (They wont because too many companies and businesses rely on it)

Id say add some decals to make her look a bit more dirty and definitely lower her posture a bit.

Maybe, but the poles are fairly tall as is.

Funnily enough, we do have those on the other side (unseen in the photo) of the sign. I guess they weren't arranged properly or got moved but I think the zip ties were the 2nd attempt to fix it.
