To me this rings similar to the laments around news: "why does it always have to be bad news, can't we see the good news every once in a while?"

If it didn't work, we wouldn't see it.

If the only way to stop it is through the sheer willpower of a society, it just won't happen.

In my opinion, going offline has to be experientially better than staying online, not just a counter-culture pendulum swing.
