> Screen time is hurting everyone and singling out kids is just old people refusing to accept that screens changed humanity at all ages

Better close your browser window real quick! Don't want any more of that nasty screen time to harm you!

I could have easily included myself in my above list of anecdotes. But more importantly, look at all the "harmful" things I listed. My mom interacts with her friends. An old lady slows down a group of people. A kid gets in trouble with his parents. Middle schoolers are socially inept.

None of those things are really that harmful, they are mostly expected and regular parts of life.

Have you read about Poe's Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law?
