In theory. Society doesn’t see it that way though. Most societies for example have limitations on access to heroine as a significant portion of the population is not able to effectively achieve control and moderation which leads to harm to self and others. This is similar. When something hijackss brain chemistry this powerfully the solution is typically restricting access at a higher than personal choice level.
The issue is having a device in their hand and nothing better to do. Ban all video if you really want to get to the root of the problem.
Anyone ever say “look out, that usenet feed is endless scrolling! Or my IRC chat just keeps scrolling!”
No, because scrolling is not the problem. This is obviously nothing about scrolling, its about control and monitoring, but if they actually wanted to tackle the underlying issue of addiction, scrolling itself is not it.
I am not going to be told I can’t see endless results on a fucking web page because some dipshit cant stop watching short form videos. Hell, keep the endless scrolling but ban the pictures/and videos. I look at lemmy with basically text and thumbnails, why should I be punished?
