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 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.

screentime

A third-party accessory that makes childhood do no longer look like childhood anymore — it's akin to the third-party mod "Ultimate Immersion" that make Minecraft do no longer look like Minecraft. BTW, the "vanilla", unmodded version of childhood consists of doing sports, playing outside, reading physical books, and hanging out with friends.
With all this screentime, my kids barely know what a real childhood looks like anymore!
