Everything feels so superficial, consumerist and gross. Like, it always was, but we used to at least have a counterculture to it. The only thing close to a counterculture is anti-woke shit which I think is going to bite us in the end.

I feel like I'm getting more misanthropic lately and I don't like it. But I feel like most people are just getting kind of shitty and sucked into "the game", more so than usual. Opposition to this is brushed away as bitter or "angry at the world".

But like, sometimes angry bitter people have a point? I think the total rejection of anger is dangerous, similar to not allowing people to be sad.

Everyone wears this mask of charisma, but it's suffocating and pretentious.

Even the videos meant to look like organic content are dressed up so bad and are obvious ads.

This is why I don't use tiktok or reels, and when I watch a YouTube short I never scroll up

i scroll twitter endlessly so i'm no better, but the short-form video content feed never really got me bc so many of the videos are complete dogshit and when i scroll for too long i tend to start getting actually upsetting/shock content. which, i mean, happens on twitter too. we need to ban algorithmic feeds tbh
