It’s in the dunk tank because a boomer is using an unrepresentative zoomed to push their simplistic “kids these days, phone bad” grift. No one thinks capitalist social media addiction is good, but none of the material factors (like car dependence, declining standards of living, high housing costs) that make young people vulnerable to it are addressed or even mentioned in the article. The closest thing is an idealist checklist of “zoomers don’t have faith in these failed institutions, and that’s bad”.

And I say this as an Xer.
