It's unfortunate.
One has to consider that your boomer parents and family members are at this point literally living in a different reality, because functionally, that's what these big social media sites with algorithmically-weighted content do. They present a reality that keeps people's eyes glued to the screen, often by convincing them whatever dumb shit they believe is correct but also keeping them perpetually outraged, and all to buy cheap garbage produced in Indonesia or something.
