By Febru…

it was 96%

useful little excerpt:

Students started off with 10 minutes of sustained silent reading. By February, they could do 30 minutes without any trouble. In the beginning, some students could barely write half a page. Now they were writing six to seven pages.

some color commentary by me:
Tech rots your brain. All these big companies operate on dopamine rushes and addiction to fuel their advertisement and surveillance empires. They're getting rich while the rest of us suffer the consequences of largely unregulated social media.

Citizens united paved the way for this stuff to be top tier brainwashing too, since we mostly see the outputs of their algorithms which can be manipulated to align to whatever viewpoint they would like. Advertising is master manipulation in practice.
