Yup! Exactly! Nobody is the same as they were decades ago!

What is scary is how proud some people are of their (willful) ignorance.

GOD, I hate this. I do everything I can to NOT use Facebook. There are lots of places to get free or cheap websites. Having a Facebook page instead makes me automatically not want to do business with you.

Moving the HVAC controls to the screen is just dangerous. Especially the idiotic way VW have done it. My wife has a modern car and while it does have a touchscreen, primary functions can be controlled via the steering wheel buttons and the HVAC controls are dials and buttons

All I know are the YouTubers, I could care less about a tiktoker or instagrammer

Wasn't Gen x always forgotten, like even during their time?! I'm pretty sure that's where all the grunge, depression, and subsequent Prozac prescriptions came from... The "Latch-key kids."

Yessssss. I hate ads. Especially when they put the little fake x

Yeah, mental issues are not something to be joked about!

Causes mor problems than it's worth!

Person from the United Kingdom of UK here. The absurdity of politicians and their followers over in the USA is a strange and ridiculous hot mess of bullsh!t.

Back to the feudal system where the corporations are the Barons and landowners.

Monetization with no creation.

Congratulations, you just summed up half of TikTok.

I like watching people discover music and bands that they never heard of before. Watching people listen to Nirvana or Metallica for the first time is fun.

Me personally i don't mind them. Some youtubers may point something out that you might of missed on certain reactions

Have you watched reaction vids to Disturbed - The Sound of Silence. Careful, could get you in a 5 hour rabbit hole.

The "acting" challenge ones too. Look, idc how many ways you can say no!

Most of the time I feel like it's the second persons way of getting attention - if a person really wants to draw attention to the original video, all they have to do is record a blank wall or cover the camera or something so they don't distract from the message of the original creator. The ones where the people are filming their reaction and not adding to the video in any way, I usually try to click through to the original and interact with it.

I see this more and more with those annoying reels on Instagram.

Facts

Yep.

Some of this is correct but what about feedback ex. Pokémon challenges(the channel not the genre of videos)

Well its also a way to share something copyrighted

YES. There are some that have a point; there's a group of black men who analyze comedians and social commenter interviews and talk about them from a racial point of view and what they feel is really just funny and what is offensive. That has a point. Or I've seen some musician ones...people reacting to listening to a certain song or guitar riff/drummer for the first time and maybe even trying to replicate it. But I saw one yesterday of someone literally just nodding her head to someone putting on makeup. Like...why???

Here is an crazy idea. Do not watch them. Nobody is forcing you.

Except when, for example, famous musicians react to people performing their songs. I love it when people share their platform to uplift and shine a light on others.

Especially the ones who are clearly on something.

Stop watching it then

Because we have 24 hours to fill with news and only really enough content for 6-7 of those hours. At what point does it stop being "news" and becomes "olds"?

As a dental hygienist, I do oral cancer screenings and part of that is palpating the lips- augmented lips feel very different from natural lips, not in a good way. Natural lips are consistent in feel with no discernible lumps, and should be soft, elastic and slightly firm. Augmented lips actually feel like there is a hard rope running inside the length of the lip or tiny pearls deep inside when you palpate them (depending on how they're augmented). It's not pleasant to feel- I always wonder how it must feel to kiss someone with that.

Sometimes you have to let Darwin happen.

Confused by the picture to the post.

I agree. It's a conspiracy, folks! 😜

Even cars are going subscription model. BMW calls it “Functions on Demand”. If you want heated seats, you can pay for a subscription. You can subscribe from a month, a few years or unlimited. Though I’m pretty sure when someone buys that car second hand again, an unlimited subscription won’t be transferred to the new owner… they will have to buy unlimited again. Just like how Tesla has been deactivating the Ludicrous package from the previous owner so that the next person has to pay again.

If people were paid a living wage, maybe they wouldn't need to make ends meet with a dozen side-hustles.

I do not know what these are. They have been explained to me, but still, I do not know what they are.

You have to hustle! You're sleeping at 3am? WEAK...The Rock is up at 2am. You're having lunch at 1pm? HAHA...you're wasting time to grind. You're cooking dinner with your wife at 6pm? PATHETIC...the only grind you're doing is the pepper shaker. You're trying to get 8hrs of sleep? NO WONDER YOU'RE NOT ME...I hire people to sleep for me.

I stopped giving my email and phone numbers out to retail staff after learning Canada's Michael's rewards are non-existent. We're not collecting points nor are we able to use them. It's been a few years and staff still don't know when or if we're getting rewards for Michael's arts and crafts. But they still ask for your email address with every purchase. I just say I'm not bothering anymore. Recordings for customer service is only really for training purposes. When new hires are being trained the managers will show examples from real calls (edited to leave out the person's identity of course) and will use good and bad ones. It's also to ensure the reps are doing their job and if there's any discrepancy they have the recording to refer to. Call centres are not distributing these recordings to other 3rd party companies unless it's a client and there's a legal warrant in obtaining that recording. That's all.

At first I thought they were saying going to the movies alone shouldn't be a normal thing. But I get what they're saying at the end part. Basically, we shouldn't have to emphasize how normal a harmless, mundane activity is just because it's not wildly popular.

Apart from taking a picture of yourself or friends, when are you ever going to either watch that video or picture again? Like really? I remember recording fireworks once way back and I've literally never watched it.

I grew up in a very small Florida town. The poll workers would tell anyone who would listen what political party you were. Less than 10% were not Republicans. My family was part of that 10% and we were confronted by it day after day. I heard about JFK's assassination from a classmate as I was walking home. " YAY, Kennedy is dead." We were 7.

"I'm sure aboud it, caus I seeed it on the interwebs!"

* being left out of the loop with friends and basically everyone cause you’re not allowed to have social media so u just sit there when they talk about stuff you don’t understand

But Brad promised I was the one!

Even when you invent something and try to make it open source to share it, some company may well try to patent it out from under you.

Monetization not creation. I have no problem making money of your content but content needs to be first. You deserve the money for good content.
