perhaps.
to my eye, grants seem uniquely incestuous.
and far less discussed for their corrupt/shady processes.

Is it just me, or is the grant awards process super shady?
eg., I once spoke with an academic who was really good at getting grants.
Their advice?
"Build a personal relationship with grant officers."
This was not the only time I've heard some version of this.

yet many folks have ignored these points in parading cessation experiments.
These local experiments may not capture the broader cultural & psychological impact of universal social media use. When social media use is ubiquitous, it can fundamentally alter the broader culture & social milieu, even affecting the mental health of teenagers who abstain from social media entirely
3.) The social media hypothesis concerns a large-scale change—the widespread adoption of social media among teenagers. RCTs, in contrast, test small-scale effects of individuals quitting while most peers remain online.
2.) The social media hypothesis concerns the cumulative effect of using social media for years; RCTs identify the effect of quitting social media for weeks.
1.) The social media hypothesis concerns the effects of joining social media; RCTs identify the effect of quitting.
Is social media to blame for teens’ mental health decline?
Intuition says yes—but RCTs find only small short-term effects when users quit.
This new preprint argues these studies don’t prove social media isn’t to blame.
Here’s why: 3 reasons.
