I think it's just the opposite. Kids who've grown up with this crap will be wise to the tricks. Those who don't get exposed until adulthood have no resistance. Just like how the younger generation is pretty good at using social media responsibly and prioritizing stronger relationships, whereas the older generation get hooked and spend their whole lives yelling in newspaper comment sections.

I legitimately can't tell if this comment is meant to be ironic or not.

Our friend has not visited Tiktok lately or played any of the popular online games. These kids are fucking HOOKED 24/7.
Huh? The younger generation lives with their phones attached to their face. They don’t prioritize actual relationships.
That might be your perception.
