Also you are not getting bullied because you don't have cigarettes or smartphones, but because you lack self confidence and because you are perceived as social weak (your friends and random bystanders would not come to your help).

Like if you don't want you child to use a smartphone - just don't buy one for them.
forcing us all into manual, low paid labour jobs.
Maybe we should have shown some solidarity with people in those jobs and fought for them to get paid better?
but there’s literally nothing for them to do.
You just hang out and do fun and stupid shit, it's nice to have special place for it but a construction site and under the bridge is good enough. Problem is modern parents are extremely anxious.
Dang if parents only could do anything about their children smartphone use.
If user content belongs to the service provider, one would think that they are responsible for it.
That's basically what I wrote, (free) market economy especially in combination with credit based capitalism gives those people a perfect combination of a system to thrive in. This seems to result in very fast progress and immense wealth, which is not distributed very equally. Than again, I prefer Besos and Zuckerberg as CEOs rather than politicians or warlords. Dudes with big Egos and Ambitions need something productive to work on.
For me chrome just worked better (Mac) but since adblock is mandatory for me I switched. Afraid that if ff will implement AI my experience will be even worse.
People will always find justification to be asholes. Capitalism tried to harvest that energy and unleashed it's full potential, with rather devastating consequences.
So, what is else out there? Can the guys making adblocker just make a browser or so?
Capitalism is a concept, it can't care if it wanted and it even can't want to begin with. It's the humans. You will find greedy, immoral ones in every system and they will make it miserable for everyone else.
Like play games (like war or something), roam around, make fires, have "gangs", play other pretend stuff (basically role playing but without any real rules ) - ask your parents and grandparents what they were up to when they were kids.
