I agree with the spirit of the post, but:

- You don’t need to be doing a PhD to realize that there’s something weird about sharing your intimate life stories online with strangers. Might be a bit crude, but you’d have to be pretty thick not to consider it.

- This part:

> Social media companies, these corporate giants that have so much influence in today’s culture and the way we connect with each other, are the ones normalizing oversharing and benefiting from it

This is not exactly accurate. Social media companies are not the ones normalizing this behavior, bad parents are. They do benefit from it or even encourage it, but ultimately it’s the parent’s responsibility as they are doing it only for themselves.

Bad parents are not the victim, they are the problem.
