Let's not kid ourselves. It requires a lot of discipline to only make the algorithm spit out useful content. It takes one slip, and all of a sudden your feed is polluted. I mean, you scroll just a bit slower on a useless post, and that is what it starts surfacing for you. Let's also not forget that it is impossible to set or reset your content preferences. You basically have to create a new account. HN does not have a content algorithm, is not engineered for attention. Most content requires reading an actual article and understanding a complex topic.
> Most of the kids will be fine. Most parents care about their kids more than you care about them.
Let's also refrain from personal attacks. You don't know whether my kids even have access to social media or if I spent the time to teach them how to use it for their own benefit.
> Future generations will be fine. It's you, me and the current generation that is doomed.
Sure, they're fine in that they will continue living and have their own definition of life.
