Haha fair point. Don't know if you have kids but I do - Kids are extremely impressionable. So even without social media, but just online videos, some kids (luckily not my kid) go fucking crazy when you say "no more Minecraft videos". And I know there's a lot of parents that don't take that battle, or that simply just don't know their young teens aren't sleeping but instead scrolling tiktok underneath their covers.
