Yep. Yesterday I stumbled across a few old Reddit threads back when TikTok initially get banned. specifically subreddit drama posts.
Reading through it, and seeing how gen z moaning about how they won’t be able to connect and find new people and info. I still think they are addicted to the algorithm but I also am able to empathize somewhat in the connection part. Facts are they were born into and grew in near total “antisocial” environment. Constant connection to the internet so it’s easy to forego face to face meeting, leading to a cycle of not hanging out physically like older generations did.
Then there were the COVID lockdowns helping itself to the pile of shit.
Peer influence going to TikTok, and then getting fed constantly with their algorithm using the short form content TikTok is infamous for.

It really is tragic when I look at it honestly.
