Think of the bright side, people will slowly wake from frog-boiling and will start consuming less. It's also possible the great attention deficit will come to an end as more and more people will simply drop off these platforms realizing it's not worth their money. Then they'll rediscover what they had previously lost

Established technology being constantly moulded to be slightly worse so billionaires can be slightly richer when they already have more than they could ever usefully spend ... ah, the crowning glory of capitalism!
Imagine a world in which many of the most intelligent minds were not being exploited to brainwash us into wanting things we don't need to try and ensure we can only find satisfaction by overusing resources that the planet cannot afford.

That future sounds great, though it's possible that consumption will remain the same, but a sizeable portion shifted to ad-free alternatives (Ahoy, me Hartie's!)

sadly instead of consuming less it seems amazon is losing its monopoly status to online stores like Temu instead which direct ship from producing countries to the US under the $800 import tax limit making it comically cheap...
