it's a fad in terms of the hype and the superstition.

it won't go away. it will just become boring and mostly a business to business concern that is invisible to the end consumer. just like every other big fad of the past 20 years. 'big data', 'crypto', etc.

5 years ago everyone was suddenly a 'data scientist'. where are they now? yeah... exactly.

TubularTittyFrog ,

most people however, are straight up lazy.

TubularTittyFrog ,

if you got fitter you wouldn't sweat.

i bike 5 miles to work, year round, freezing winter and hot summer. i never sweat unless it's like 90 and high humidity. that's a handful of days per year.

TubularTittyFrog ,

you are trying to reason with someone who is operating on the belief that cycling to work a few miles will make them sweat 5L or something.

give up.

TubularTittyFrog ,

we're all wrong because we're selfish pricks and there are very few consequences for our selfish actions.

if cops would enforce traffic laws you'd see a lot more compliance... but they won't.

TubularTittyFrog ,

and then complain that you are poor and the 'man/system' is the one whose fault it is.

instead of just washing your own dishes.

TubularTittyFrog ,

because we grow up on it. it's a comfort food.

like mcdonalds and all that other super process crap.

TubularTittyFrog ,

that's not fun and dramatic and clickbaity though

TubularTittyFrog ,

irrational belief based on fantasy fuels people to action a lot more than rational belief based in reality.

because the former is exciting and meaningful, the latter is boring and mundane.

hence why the crazies tend to believe in cabal conspiracies of evil people whom they must fight against. whereas your average voter is like 'who do i want to have a beer with and make me feel like i'm doing better financially... i'll vote him'

TubularTittyFrog ,

the vast majority of nutbags with low key mental issues i meet are social media addicts who furiously want to bring their 'curated' image into the real world and force others to worship them.

the others nutbags are homeless folks.

TubularTittyFrog ,

yeah. the platforms aren't so bad in and of themselves, it's the engagement algorithms that turn everything to shit.

just like IG, YT, video/music stremaing etc. you could stumble upon random and interesting shit... now the algo is just trying to shove kendrick lamar and joe rogan at me none stop because that is what is 'popular' and whatever shitty movie that netflix is trying to promote.

browsing is dead and search is also mostly broken. you can't even effectively search for shit anymore.

the only place i can freely browse anymore is my local library. and discover lots of cool things. that experience on the internet is dead.

TubularTittyFrog ,

yes, yes, and yes.

and i no longer like any of those things.

TubularTittyFrog ,

people prefer comfort to discomfort.

TubularTittyFrog ,

why free when you can make money?

TubularTittyFrog ,

I drink coffee because it tastes good.

I feel sad for people who drink it because they see it as a requirement.

TubularTittyFrog ,

no, you can google it

TubularTittyFrog ,

Children copy their parents.

TubularTittyFrog ,

my siblings managed to keep their kids away from smartphones until 4th grade. And even that was a struggle.

sadly it just falls into the camp of 'everyone else is doing it'. and if your kid isn't they will be socially ostracized.

TubularTittyFrog ,

I got it as well. My accounts were banned... and then all the sudden an IPO comes along and the are unsuspended.... i went back in and redacted my accounts that got the email.

TubularTittyFrog ,

Yes, also to fluff up the dataset for the AI sale.
