@dcoderlt The really funny (I'd say "tragic", but fuck the commercial, #enshittification optimized Internet services — Twitter, FaceBook, etc.) is that after the adults have colonized, they don't really even need to kick the kids out. As the adults colonize, the "proprietors" tend to try to make the space more colonizer-friendly. It changes the character of the space more than just the presence of the colonizers, frequently to the point that the original patrons start removing themselves because the colonized space has become "lame" (or whatever the current-to-the-space term du jour is). Many times, the long-term result is the death of "third spaces" — be they physical or virtual (been to a mall or a pool hall lately — the ones that even still exist?).

What's different in the current epoch is the desire to ensure that kids have no place to go. So, while I joked about "encouraging kids how to use non-commercial products", it also contributes to "hooliganism". When you force kids into circumvention and going underground, it also tends to foster other habits that the "won't somebody think of the children" crowd tends to dislike.
