Fellow kids, somebody please explain to an old person (not me, obviously) what is happening here. Much appreciated.

- People are sharing the social media apps installed on their smartphones.
- A user comments “Youtube in 2023” as a way to mock it, as they find it obsolete, antiquated, outdated. The year that was current in this screenshot was 2023
- The original commenter is confused by the mocking comment
- Another user is making fun of the user that sent the second comment, claiming they got their attention span eroded by Tiktok short videos and cannot stay focused on the longer videos present on Youtube

Sleeze is showing off apps… For some reason. Eliya has some problem with using YouTube. Mar thinks eliya has fried her brain watching too much tiktok (a video platform with notoriously short videos) and can’t watch YouTube videos because they’re “too long”

Nah, I don’t think anyone is 2025 years old.

No they said in 2025, it must be like a country or something

Then watch a six part episode of Dr Who from 1976 for instance: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_of_the_Daleks
It’s good to have a pot of coffee and to do some knitting while watching.
The content is good, the pacing is just slow like molasses, they didn’t produce that much television at that time, so they were happy to get 6 weeks out of that plot.

Someone I know can’t even finish most tiktoks.

Well, me neither, but because I’m not in the market for 15yos dancing to bad music.

I don’t even use the app myself, and it was wild seeing their feed be mostly K-Pop Demon Hunters stuff, but then he looked up potatoes au gratin, watched 1 video of a recipe, and then his feed was nothing but potatoes au gratin. 😵💫

I can’t finish a tiktok video at all. The insane amount of brain-melting shit all over the screen, horrible subtitle styles, video cuts, and ubiquitously sped-up shit makes me super uncomfortable.

YouTube is not really ‘social media’ unless by that one means ‘audiovisual media created by non-corporate entities, fellow members of society’. I guess it can be if all you watch is GRWM and ‘daily updates’ videos…

Wait until you hear about people calling chat apps like WhatsApp social media.

There are plenty of smaller content creators that are interactive with the comment section. Then there is also just the comment section like we’re doing right now. There are also live streams that get interactive as well. It’s absolutely a social media platform.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
Discussion boards existed way before what people consider ‘social media’ (MySpace, Facebook, and the list goes on), places where people talk not about a topic at hand but themselves. If you consider ALL OF IT social media then I guess I agree, sure.

I still remember YouTube starting out before Google and in those times, it was a remarkable feat just to get vids beyond 5 min let alone an hour. Now we’re back to vids just being under a min. Crazy world.

1min? Only if half the screen is someone playing with slime or subway surfer

There’s loads of quality content on YouTube. You just have to create your subscriber list and not pay attention to the Home tab, which is, and always has been, utter garbage.

Even Vine was 7 seconds
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
Vine knew what it was and succeeded in encouraging creativity to fit the format. I kind of missed it, but the best of compilations really show off how entertaining getting right to the punchline can be.
ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 4 hours ago
Yeah, it was a sad day when tiktok extended the length of their videos beyond 1 minute so the olds could figure out how to do a video

Those are some interesting apps of choice. Good thing people share these, in case people don't know about them yet.
