Not as many as some of the other people in here but mine's not bad. Haven't submitted anything in like a year too... It appears as though my stats are off a bit. I mostly watch YouTube on mobile and it's reporting more submitted segments (same time saved) but strangely more personal segments skipped on mobile for less time I've personally saved. It's using the same SB account thing so I douno whats up with that. Brings me to the same leaderboard even so who knows

Look I think even you should be able to understand that phones aren't actually the problem here. Look around at the world around you. Where are kids supposed to go? You can't walk anywhere. Are they supposed to just get chauffeured around by their parents until they can drive?

Social media is bad for everyone, that's not unique to kids. The only reasonable solution to this problem is to remove car dependency and unfuck our zoning laws. Give kids places to go and they'll go there. They love that shit but they hate being a burden and since the modern world removed those opportunities what else do you expect them to do?

That's not a phone issue, that's a place issue. Where can your daughter go (without needing to drive) to hangout with friends? Can she conceivably walk there? Can her friends? I've been hearing my entire life that I just need to go outside and Bla Bla Bla but I don't have anywhere to go. The closest park is a good half hour walk and now there's even sidewalks! How pleasant. There's nowhere for children outside, it's nigh impossible to walk anywhere and it's not like your parents would let you anyway since there probably isn't even sidewalks the whole way.

For perspective I live a very reasonable 10 minutes walk away from the elementary school I went to. I think you'll agree that's a reasonable distance for at the very least the older kids to walk. However it took them till I was a senior in high school before they put in the side walk. You literally couldn't get to the elementary school on foot without walking on the side of the road for ~4 minutes. Even now the experience is awful and the crossings are unsafe. This is the world us phone kids grew up in. It's not that we don't want to go hangout in person, there's just nowhere to go and by the time people can drive it's far too late.

Also the high school is about 40 minutes walk, there's even sidewalks the whole way (now (only on one side))! It's an awful experience as there's absolutely no shade and about half of it is down a stroad.

In this instance it's supposed to mean N word hard R. It's just being used to be racist

I mean yeah but not anywhere near badly enough to be willing to deal with a phone keyboard...

The heck why's it's more expensive now? I hadn't looked in years wtf

Expensive to build much cheaper to run. Doesn't take much time at all at the scale of the electrical grid for it to pay itself off.
