Whelp, never posting this guy again. Thanks for the heads up.
I mean, most posts on Twitter are LLM-generated. Especially blue checkmark ones.
TBH, I wouldn't post any. I block communities that put too many Tweet screenshots in my feed, as they're basically always ragebait posted by an engagement farming account.
...I didn't come to Lemmy for that shit.
Sadly the further down this rabbit hole you go, the less there will be of lemmy to actually see. All the kids do nowadays is share slop memes back and forth. The meme economy has gone bankrupt.
I mean, it’s always been bankrupt, but at least the memes were reposted from somewhere.
The part that isn’t okay is the source being a bad actor. A spammer. That is simply unacceptable, yet posters and upvoters don’t seem to care.
And that’s what I mean. These kids don’t care. They will stop at nothing to give you the illusion that they do, but behavior is a tell- words aren’t.
Just look at how everyone complains about YouTube, then check the numbers. It’s more popular than ever.
Or really, any of the flavor-of-the-week complaints.
Like… Remember when everyone was hating on Rockstar for union busting? These kids are climbing over one another to hand over their saliva-soaked money for GTAVI pre-orders. (Also something they constantly yell at others for)
And let’s add on the fuckton of Facebook accounts that still exist even though we get daily articles about how META despises the LGBTQ+.
There has never been a more disingenuous generation than the recent batches. They just consume shit ad nauseum- all while giving the illusion that they give a shit about any of it. And you can’t directly call them out because you’ll get torn apart by the fact that they need to keep the ruse going. So with clutched pearls and a new sense of victimhood, they definitely deny all of it while calling you a “boomer”.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Whoaaa Nellie.
I don’t believe in intergenerational finger pointing like that. It’s not productive.
Besides, older generations have no leg to stand on. I see everyone from millennials to boomers indulging in the exact same addictive algos, sharing and acting in misinformation. And they have no excuse because they grew up with the “old internet.” Hence it doesn’t matter; everyone, in aggregate, is doing this.
I just meant to highlight the information hygiene problem on Lemmy, specifically. It really bothers me, but it doesn’t seem to bother most users, old or young, which worries me.
We can agree to disagree.
