Same. People always assume I'm a smaller clothing size than I actually am because of this. A (new, Karen) colleague recently asked if I'm on Ozempic because of my face. Like no it's not Ozempic face, it's my face.

Glad to see I'm not the only one! Same phone, same OS, same issue here too.

They are indeed some spiteful ass cunts.

I think part of the issue is that there's a lot more predatory shit on the internet nowadays. I say this as a person who has had unfettered access to the internet since my tweens. Social media and The Algorithms have changed the internet, and not necessarily for the better.

Just as a for-instance, if you go to YouTube on a freshly installed browser without logging in, the front page is kind of wild. Then the algorithm will pull you down a rabbit hole and kids who haven't been taught that they're being manipulated are going to start taking everything as fact from people like Tate.

We didn't have things trying to get in our heads to this extent; while I do wish the kids had their freedom, I also recognise that the internet has become hell. I can understand why parents would try to shield their kids from that.

And this is why I refuse to take part in selfie culture. Shit's dangerous. When can we go back to the anonymous internet of yore?

Brave, Firefox Focus and Mull are decent options for mobile users.
