I feel like we’re at the age of the internet where a strong minority (see: Lemmy users) care deeply about all the ugly exploitative and anti-consumer nature of big tech, but the vast majority of the population just… doesn’t care… and shrugs off (and enables) the continual downward spiral.
The vast majority has learned helplessness and submissiveness. It's not that they don't care, they've just been beaten down over time.
I've seen it. It's almost like a form of ADHD training. Make sure the person's attention is never on something for too long, and make sure the attention snaps to whatever ad pops up.
Consume product, then get excited for the next product!
Attention is a commodity.
"ADHD training", that's the perfect way to put it.
