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.

Gross. Android defaults are a privacy nightmare.

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!

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Scammers vs Impossible Password Game

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

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.

[-] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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.
