I support a couple of retired people on the side, and they are totally addicted to the lowest quality slop on Facebook/Instagram imaginable.

It's so bad that they'll click on a link to see the latest slop, and ostensibly get one of those webpages that says they have 47 viruses and call the number. I politely told them that they shouldn't click on those links anymore.

To which they said, well, if I shut my phone off when that happens, can I keep on doing it?

It's like that Star Trek the Next Generation episode where they all get addicted to that game. It's creepy and sad.
