My siblings were debating issues with it and about how willing they were to just deal with it.
I’m just shocked at how addicted everyone is to it that it could probably say “Trump is watching all users’ front cameras while the app is open” and kids would still be like "hmmm what are the odds he watches me though?
But everybody’s a zombie.
I mean I downloaded it, back really early, to take a peek. After 15 minutes, I decided I hated the short format, and peaced out.
It seems to largely be a generational thing. Millennials are (in my perception) mostly on it just to make money, zoomers just want that crack IV drip.
Obviously this is just a trend, and there are counter examples everywhere, but that seems to be more true than not. At least from the outside looking in.
And given it’s totally obnoxious censorship rules, now I have to deal with hearing about people getting “unalived”, or “adult fun time”, and “p 3 dee oh” from creators that multistream. Even without being there, I’m forced to experience the cancer secondhand.
That’s my main problem with it. None of the other problems affect me directly much since I’ve always avoided it, but that is smeared all over my shit.
