As a side note, I think this could be a big part of childhood depression rates rising over the last few generations. (Aside from the obvious feedback loop of the algorithmically tuned and targeted depression rectangles in everyone's pockets).
As more of the world gets locked down and excludes you, there is less ways to imagine making the world your own as a kid.

@theeclecticdyslexic @dcoderlt Each of these things mentioned allows kids ways of communicating with each other, finding commonalities and like-minded people. And, yeah, most generations get to experience watching that get taken away by adults coming in, enshittifying it, and then kicking them out, as the post above describes. Everyone needs that stuff, but people decide they know what's better for them and take it away.
