People crave distraction and everyone carries a phone

Anything but talking to you, whoever you is.

The monetization is aggressive. They have not only switcharoo currencies, but multiple battle passes, time-limited in-game purchases, paid early access for certain features, and pay2win progression mechanics that incentivize spending money. If you think the monetization in any given PC/console game is bad, mobile games will put them to shame multiple times over.

You are expected to always be holding an ongoing marshmallow test, the basic design since the 2010s has been firmly established to be an ad platform.
Marketing was already quasi-demonic when all it had access to was newspapers, TV and radio.

do you think we'll ever return to life before phones? will smartphones ever fall out of style? will the masses ever be mindful of their surroundings again? or is this just how life in public is going to be for the rest of our existence?

>>722269560
We have that here too, we just call it what it is:prostitution.

It's like gambling but with anime girls.

We're not going back. Best you can do is lead by example as much as you can. Just don't pull out your phone. Sit on a bus and keep it in a pocket. Stand idly and don't use it. I've had a few people at work remark that I never seem to use my phone and say it's sort of impressive. It doesn't even mean they'll alter their behavior, but the more people who notice the higher the chance that more people will give it a fucking break every now and then. It's all you can do.

>>722272645
to me the next logical step would be to have your smartphone screen directly embedded into a pair of glasses like jewckerberg is trying to do, so you no longer need to hold anything in your hands
if that's the direction we go, it's going to get even worse because you'll hop in a metro and see dozens of people just staring into the void

>>722272645
No one was mindful of their surroundings before phones
At least now people are always looking for something to take a pic or a video
Before phones people just read newspapers or books (if you in that sort of area) or they just stared out into space

Do you speak Japanese?
Are you somewhat fit, decently tall 5'9-6'3?
Can you work absurd hours for pretty shit pay?

If you answered yes to all 3, chances are it might not 'fix' you but you'll be in a better country with a lot healthier food options, and a lot better easement out of Western ideals(which is sadly being taken away because of you know who wanting to import more browns/blacks).
