+34 The internet is ruining humanity. Especially the youth. It encourages self-indulgent arrogance, amirite?

lol this isn't an unpopular opinion, but not because of your example. It's the destabilization of democracy and isolation it's breeding in society.

lmao no it's obviously OP's hyperspecific example of a teenager entertaining themselves. that's the real problem with society, not our fascist billionaire parasite overlords /s

Who do you think those overlords are? A lot of them are tech company owners who create algorithms that create self indulgent ignoramuses.

I'm aware. my point is that OP's derision is pointed at the wrong people. that's like saying "this tree is so stupid & annoying for not being able to grow tasty fruit", when some dude up the road poisoned its water supply.

I don't think the "destabilization" of democracy is contributing to the isolationism in our society😂 It's purely the internet

People starting every sentence with "bro" is another unfortunate effect of the internet.

Eh, slang has been around since well before the Internet existed and some of it has always been a little cringe.

It's common slang in languages other than English. You are experiencing cultural exchange and the natural evolution of language over time.

Not really, since it predates the internet. If you want to be technical, and not bound to English, there are records of Romans referring to one another (not related) as "Fratres" (Literally, brothers) as an initial form of address, for example.

You do understand the difference between dancing in the mirror by yourself and doing it on the internet for likes/attention?

You never danced with your friends at school?
