It's hard to get other people off the bad parts of the Internet.

It's very hard to get businesses to stop exclusively posting stuff on Instagram.

Idk man, “I saw this Thread (or whatever they’re called) earlier that said “blah blah blah” is far too commoningly overheard. I’m not that old myself, mid 30s, but almost all community notices (wife deals with it) is through Facebook, or some other group messaging system. I don’t think that’s the era they are refering to, they want face to face communication. Like gotta go knock on the neighbors door to tell them there’s some deer coming down the hill.

Aol, all you get is a notification on your computer (when you choose to look at it). Nothing urgent is gonna get noticed in time.

Kids are stupid. I didnt mind places not having a TV at all as a kid...many grandparents didnt have one.

Even now, our living room has no TV. Obviously none in the bedroom either. Now, my basement gaming room is full of CRTs but yeah no streaming brainrot 😁

The thing that sucks today is phones work everywhere. Theres almost nowhere without service now. Unless we hang out in a concrete bunker

That's just bragging.

Anecdotes don't prove anything. The grandparents I know aren't on social media. Most barely use smartphones.

One was complaining to me about how their bank requires everything to be done through a phone app. They don't like how they can go into a branch to do anything because the bank teller tells them to do it on the app.

Just because social media addicted a lot of old people doesn't mean all old people are doom scrolling.

Think more of the greatest generation and elder boomers, the people who unironically thought netscape was the best the internet ever had to offer, and rightfully so.
