OTOOOH its very naive to think that "quitting social media" is the solution.

The earth is rotting from us leeching from it, there is no future for these juniors, and we're on the verge of more war and destruction, fascism, et cetera.

There is nothing for them to build towards, other than the typical House, wife and kids, which will be in the same boat.

Knowing this, if someone comes up to you and says "yeah, well, you should just accept it", obviously people are not going to support this

Also, it's not enough to quit on your own: all the voters and CEOs around you will still be on social media, making decisions it influences. Just like quitting alcohol won't prevent you being killed by a drunk driver.

that attitude is a direct result of having your neuroticism farmed by social media

Catastrophising for sure, and unhelpful in that it obscures some of the more real issues young people face: unaffordable housing, student debt, employment market shifts, mental health problems caused by social media.
