tbh my grandma considered movies and TV brainrot and my parents don't understand why people watch someone playing a video game on Youtube rather than playing. I think there are legitimate criticisms of Tik Tok and other social media, but this just reads as that simpsons quote:
I don’t understand why people watch others play video games, but I also don’t understand why people watch people playing sports.
Because playing games costs money
Energy too
life is too exhausting
Sometimes you wannna experience a game but are too tired (or in my case, too depressed) to play it.
As for sports, idk. I don't understand that at all, its been the same sport for such a long time, I'd be bored af, even if I ever had a desire to watch sports. I never understand those people.
