How you use the device is what matters. I use my smartphone to read books for example, and on YouTube I watch a lot of informative content.

What’s addictive is the pre-installed social media apps on our smartphones, that is what needs to be regulated.

No? It’s a metaphor for an “uplifting” story that’s not actually uplifting at all since it’s “about someone remedying the immediate effects of a sociopolitical issue that ignore the root cause of said issue.”

Sometime ago somebody posted a news story about X person/organisation paying off the lunch debt of pupils. That was an orphan crushing machine moment, why can a kid in elementary school have “lunch debt” in the first place?

This is not that, one could argue it’s not that uplifting but it has nothing to do with orphan crushing machine.
