Interesting idea doomed to fail...

1st priority - Pissing off the paying customers so they quit paying.
2nd priority - Attracting people who have no money to spend

Look at how inverted today’s world is.

In the past, kids, teens, young adults learned how to fit in to the world.

In the present, kids, teens, young adults tell the world how to fit in with them.

Wait a minute. I might have posted a little quick. I'm liking what this kid is saying....

First, we are much more private when it comes to using social media, ... In our first of three national studies we uncovered that 84 percent of Gen (Z) say the they prefer face-to-face communication because we feel it is the most authentic.

So, he's saying that 18 year olds AREN'T a bunch of cell-phone and social media addicted texting zombies?

Hmmmm. Might be some hope for them, yet.

And - he's not going to college. Might be something worthwhile behind the smarmy countenance.

I suppose that he could still be right, AND a tool.
