Most people here didn't even follow the link and are just responding to the title. They don't know who wrote the piece, much less what it actually says.

They've also been scrolling too much.. Their attention span cant handle it lol.

Their propensity for scrolling has degraded their ability to criticize it.

I don't get what you are trying to say? Can't people share their experiences?

This comment isn't so bad, but there were a bunch of comments earlier that were implying or stating outright that the author of TFA was targeting TikTok specifically for political reasons, which is clearly nonsense if you have even a passing familiarity with Haidt's body of work.

OP followed a similar pattern by starting with "please add YouTube to the list", but they did at least elaborate and didn't imply that TikTok was being targeted unfairly.

You're totally right. I wouldn't have written what I wrote, if I had seen this comment before seeing the ten thousand other comments on this page that just say "whatabout {other social media app}". Not fair to the author of this comment who was just sharing an experience. Too late to delete it now, so I just have to live with my shame :)

Because even though he is reposted here every few months not everyone has deigned to actually read any of his stuff

That's fine, but if you're going to post "now do X" in response to a criticism of Y, it behooves you to understand whether the author might have already opined on X.
