@safeonlinefutures: "They're coming for every second of your life." When comedian and filmmaker Bo Burnham said this in 2019, he nailed the core business model of the modern web: your attention is the last remaining frontier of extraction. Tech platforms aren't designed to connect you; they're engineered to keep you scrolling so every micro-moment of your day can be measured, monetized, and served back to you as targeted ads. Protecting your time starts with recognizing the business model. Do you feel like your attention is being colonized? Drop your thoughts below. 🎥: Bo Burnham, Child Mind Institute panel "Self-Esteem in the Age of Social Media" (published January 2019). #MediaLiteracy #AttentionEconomy #SafeOnlineFutures #BoBurnham #SurveillanceCapitalism

I just hate how they all sit there in silence acting like he’s being over the top… like everyone wants to be a woke activist until it means talking about the truth

The part that gets me is the obsession with advertising, and yet here we are just a decade later and nobody stopped to think it's pointless to advertise if everybody is too broke to buy sh*t???

why does it have to grow if shareholders are involved? they are already rich, so maybe they'll take a loss, that is how the world works.

What creeps me out the most is on inside he said “seven years to go” which should be 2027, which is next year after we are dealing with flock cameras, AI and everything in between

Fun fact when you're not on your phone at a time you normally are, apps like Facebook will send you a random notification like those "your friend was mentioned in a post" to try and get you to pick up your phone and look so you'll start scrolling again

Sure, for most, they aren't doing it consciously for harm or malice, but neither are the cells in a cancer. At some point the expectation for them to look up and own their effects is more than past due. the larger they are the more of a responsibility they have to keep the system healthy or GTFO.

It’s seriously extremely naïve to say that you don’t think that some of these companies are doing it consciously 🤣
