Ever go on a website like Reddit or youtube and down vote something? Than notice that you can not see it or fuzzy math doesn’t count your vote? You are not seeing things when it would seem to be that you dissent into madness over something you disagree with.

It made me start thinking, Kids saddle a lot of emotions these days and the fact that when most of their lives is online, you have to consider there environment. Disassociation is on the rise with kids and I think social media contributes to this by making them feel powerless in the world we live in.

If you consider this for a moment. You go on reddit and you see a post that has a socially disagreeable thing on there.

Here is an example: the post is already at 0 .

Show that you do not like the post and downvote it.

You see the vote is clearly at -1 , feeling like you have made a opinion but, when you see next when you click on the page to comment .

Now look, Your vote is gone, your opinion is meaningless. For a kid trying to find their footing and meaning in life, that’s not just a glitch it’s a rejection of their validation and existence. It’s stupid. its likely damaging to a kids psyche.

This is a Digital Erasure of the soul, You strike out at something disagreeable and the corporate overlords come out and say “now now, you should be seen and not heard.” like any kid who grew up in the past would hear.

This is the space where the digital ego and soul goes to die and gets dangerous. We tell our children they are the masters over their domain and we try to give them the agency to do so. This is where the corporate overlords say “NO” and seriously hurt this mindset. The very tools they give adults and children come back with negative reinforcement by changing that vote back to zero. By faking the thumbs down and the downvote you are destroying the person sense of morality and ethics. Because when they see the vote reset they say “I guess i mean nothing” . it creates a specific kind of psychological rot that adults may not feel but to a child this has a profound effect.

But by not allowing the consensus of anger the very soul of the person is put up for wholesale click farming. Math should not equal 0- 1 = -1 to -1+1 =1 . This shit needs to be stopped and we need to value opinions even if we do not like the opinion. Otherwise, this is why we are seeing more and more people disassociating, they feel like they do not count and they just freeze because why does it matter anyways?

This needs to stop . This is like giving decaf coffee to the world at large. It taste like coffee acts like coffee and you fall asleep and than get angry. We like our regular coffee, you take that away there would be riots..
