Other than the age, What are the things that made us feel less happier, less in the moment, less energized and more depressed than the last decade? (lemm.ee)

For people born in 2000-2008.

I feel like there has really been a hidden apocalypse in the modern consumer era, exploitation era, the era that no longer cares about humanity or it's mental health.

From food to entertainment to supposed freedom to so called advancement of the society, we've only seen a steady and constant decline in the psychological and mental state of the society as a whole.

I can't help but notice how different were the things in 2007 or even 2015. The modernity and it's bells and whistles has really been hazardous.

Most people mentioned social media here, but I think it's the software that adjusts and auto-personalizes the content according to the live user's interactions. Good software was never meant to have that. Good software is meant to have good UX and UI, but not auto-tailoring to user's needs.

I follow the principles of 'if I need to change the design, I do it myself'. The best practice would be the special options where I could customize my software, like 'Customize Firefox'. Some IDEs also have a field to play around. No A/B testing to individual groups, no personalized feeds, ability to disable or adjust the settings.
