Too much
(no but seriously I'm just happy I grew up without Instagram and tiktok being the most popular social media, that stuff gives people brainrot)
I’m actually quite glad about instagram and tiktok. Before those people got brainrot from facebook and tumblr. And before those idk, each other. I don’t think it’s avoidable and especially tiktok has some great content.
I have been on all of those platforms and tiktok and Instagram bred an unbelievable gullible and cruel kind of internet user in combination with bad reading comprehension, pack behavior and a false sense of righteousness . Sure tumblr was the seed but tiktok and insta are the toxic plants.
I think gen z is still quite young so i don’t want to judge. I’m not that young anymore but i still consider myself an absolute idiot a lot of the time and i do wonder how much more progressive i would be now if i had all this information available to me when i was younger. Gen z is certainly much smarter than i was in their age and i think social media has a lot to do with that.
