By night, YouTube and Facebook secretly take baseball bats to the windshields of our minds.

By day, YouTube and Facebook sell us glass repair services, at a special price no less!

YT and FB could fix these social issues overnight, if they wanted to: turn off autoplay, turn off recommendations, restore chronological timelines, and dial down the ads. But they won't because that is the core of their business model.

Instead they offer bullshit mind-repair services to fix the damage they continue to do.
