What do you even do on Instagram for 16 hours?
My ex was super depressed. Long story short she was struggling with sexuality. I watched her spend literal hours on the couch scrolling insta. She got deep into Reels and would watch them all day. The algorithm is so addicting. It kept her eyes glued. She also ended up down the self diagnosed rabbit hole deciding she had all sorts of mental illness. It was awful.

Why do ppl spend hours on slot machines in bars and casinos? What are they doing during all those hours?
FB, IG, TikTok, Candy Crush etc. are all using those exact same techniques to get you hooked like junkies.
It’s literally a crime a against humanity.

It's not a bug - it's a feature!
They want to be an integral part of our lives, like thinking, except they'll take the place of thinking, or talking, or even looking around.
You can trust ol empty eyes there. He knows what he is lying.
Of all my active addictions, none take 16 hours to satiate.
Well, Diablo 2 sure has for me.
Diablo 3 and Tiny Tina's done this for me
Tiny Tina omg
What a smug stupid fucking lying face on this piece of shit.... He thinks he's fucking being cute with his little glasses and eyebrows feinting surprise
That lede photo is the very fucking epitome of the Upton Sinclair's "it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it"
He is being paid hundreds of millions of dollars to pretend to be ignorant, to blatantly lie to people, while looking them straight in the eye. More money than you or me will ever see in all our combined lifetimes, to make that stupid fucking face
