Do those people send you any blog links?
or solely vapid social media shite?
Note that. There’s overlap in other parts of life.
The big AI push has made him more interested in what is happening with all these tech companies and he doesn't like it. I'm trying to use it nudge him off these platforms run by companies he claims to despise.
Then, bluntly, good luck fixing your own problem with the same.
How many decades will you nudge before realizing you’re yelling down a well?
These aren’t new concepts or tricks people are falling for.
You’re theory, that my friend using Instagram translates into an addiction for me, doesn’t hold water. I spent 6 years where the 5 people I spent the most time with all smoked, and I’ve never had a cigarette in my life. Values are stronger than peer pressure, especially as an adult. By the end of those 6 years there was only one smoker left.
I’m not sure why you assume I should trend toward an unhealthy habit, instead of him trending toward a healthier habit, especially as his hate for the tech industry grows. I also don’t really care if he quits himself, I just want him to not send so many reels my way. He is already good about not being on his phone when hanging out in person. It’s not that big of a deal.
Then your reply is minorly off-topic, and unexpected, in the context your sibling commenter established.

Didn’t say it would cause anything for you. Just that if you had the same issue, it’ll cause you undue friction trying to fix it.
Interesting claim, definitely not something valid for me, for better or worse. But I can see why it could be valid in general.
