Screenpost

A form of goalpost manipulation where the ultimate objective is to obtain screenshots of a user that can be used against them. The screenpost is the moving standard of behavior that, once met, triggers screenshot capture and weaponization. First, the target must say something mildly controversial. Screenshot. Then they must defend it. Screenshot. Then they must apologize. Screenshot. Each response is documented, each adjustment recorded, building a dossier that can be used to portray the target in the worst possible light. The post moves until enough material is gathered—enough to get them banned, fired, humiliated, or destroyed.

Example: "They wanted to destroy his reputation, so they set up a screenpost. First, they asked his opinion on a controversial topic. He answered honestly. Screenshot. Then they argued with him until he got frustrated. Screenshot. Then they mocked his frustration until he snapped. Screenshot. When they had enough, they published the thread—'Look how unhinged this person is'—omitting their own provocations. The post had moved; the trap had closed."

screen time

The opportunity to negotiate for extra hours of screen time from parents, akin to spotting parking spaces for a driver. It requires keen observation and timing to seize the moment when parents are less vigilant or distracted.

My little brother has mastered the art of screen time; he knows exactly when Mom is busy and swoops in for an extra hour of gaming on Roblox!

screenification

The process by which screens are replacing traditional play spaces, like playgrounds, reflecting a shift in how children engage with their environment. Commonly observed in places like McDonald's play areas, where digital entertainment takes precedence over physical activity.

With the screenification of play areas, kids are spending more time on tablets than climbing on jungle gyms.

screen time inflation

The phenomenon where you want to be able to have more and more screen time whilst still having screen time limits imposed by parents remain equally strict. This is mainly caused by constantly subscribing to new YouTube channels, which does not show maturity in limiting your own screen time. Rather, it tells the YouTube algorithm that you're willing to have more hours of YouTube per day even though you may "only" do this as a mere digital form of "tipping". It's akin to the akcual inflation, where prices and cost of living increases significantly whilst your wage remains equally low.

Ever since Jamie started subscribing to all those YouTube channels, his screen time inflation has skyrocketed; he wants to watch more videos but still has to stick to the equally strict limits set by his parents.
