Younger brother convinced me to install Snapchat last night, and subsequently TikTok as well.

Used the apps a couple times now, but I seriously feel way too old to be on these platforms. Tis' endless brain rot as they would say.

I can't handle Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, Instagram, etc

It's just all short term dopamine hits with no longevity or effort.

People posting inane shit to get those likes and hearts. Anything that could be potentially useful jump cutted and sped up to suit the short attention span of their viewers so it's functionally useless to try and use to learn anything from.

I'm so glad I grew up pre-social media. Kids gonna be ADHD as fuck.
