Says a generation that believes everything a YouTuber tells them lol
Not a boomer btw
It seems so absurd to me this could happen. For the boomers I understand, they grew up in an offline world, but the youth? They are raised on the modern web and smartphones but are often clueless too.
Was it the unsanitized, wild west internet era of the late 90s/early 2000s that hardened the millennials against online bullshitting?
Now that I'm thinking about the good old days of virus pop-ups and limewire cancers, has the presence of malware changed that much? Or it is less visible due to mobile architecture and pop-up blockers?
Good question. That malware is still out there but the operating system can be pretty awful itself.
Ooo, thinking about putting graphene on this phone.
But reading between the lines, it kind of seems like commercial adware has pretty much drowned out most of the visible malware
Hmm I wonder what the stats are!

It sure feels that way, explaining to kids that YouTubers will say anything to get you to keep watching, meanwhile the elderly are following Qanon bullshit.
Well yeah, it was definitely that.
You think millennials are immune to it? I feel like it's only Gen-X that's both cynical enough and was here for the birth of it, to be properly skeptical of everything online.
What generation? I'm an elder millenial and I always thought Google Video/Vimeo/Youtube was/is shit for any kind of actual informential content. Music videos, meme videos - sure. Other than that, veeerrry great amount of suss on any info presented. Same goes for 90+% of people of my generation, who know what kind of a jokepool 90's/early 2000's internet was.
So what gen are you referring to?
You have to learn how to filter out the rage bait and trash content, but you have to do that offline too.
Yeah personally I've found a ton of informational and useful content on YT. There's tons of lectures and presentations available from different colleges and stuff, but there's also just a ton of people that like to spread info. For example, I found one guy thats making his own audiobooks of leftist literature to make it more accessible for the average Joe.
Ooh, link for the leftist literature YT? I've wanted something like that for a while.

Should've linked it in the original comment tbh. It's awesome that people are doing this type of thing.

YouTube is a decent source of info for some subjects, like vehicle maintenance and 3d printing. Of course it still depends on the channel/creator...
