Not even a plot synopsis to avoid spoilers? Respect.

I enjoyed it.

I think society is too far gone when it comes to social media and screens. It will just continue to get worse. And with the whole virtual school stuff this year, I feel really bad for society's kids.

I always knew social media was bad (I’m in software). This just confirmed what I already knew. Pushed me to finally delete my FB app. Good watch.

The Social Dilemma is a must-watch. Although it's about the design of all social media, Zuckerberg in particular is a ghoul. He wields a scary amount of power but has a sociopathic disregard for anything but making money.

Here's a good companion article:

I thought the industry experts that contributed had genuine sadness and some fear with how things have evolved. It definitely seems as though the AI algorithms are primarily responsible for most of the recent craziness.

It also made me realize that this site (other than side ads) looks the same for everyone and does not pick the news to highlight for you. That's probably rare these days.

The bit with the three guys that mimic how algorithms work was done well also.
