Probably not any longer than the first death from any new thing that a lot of people get into. These comments are stupid... you're just trying to find something wrong with something you apparently have an issue with.
I'm sure someone has died playing badminton but I doubt everyone wised up about playing it after.
Oh no, a bunch of people you weren't going to communicate with in the first place are "too busy staring at their phones" to acknowledge your existence... It's the end of the world as you know it.
I think most people reach an age where any new thing is instantly dumb to them... It's like you think you've seen it all and anything new is not worth your time anymore... or that only idiots are doing it.
