Like, there isnt like 90% of ShitTok / YT is just a paid mess of advertisment, sponsorships and self advertisments for their “Prime” flavored drink that gets you cancer if you arent subscribed.

No no, the cancer is a Patreon-exclusive benefit.

Non-Patreons only get lead poisoning and holes in their brain.

This is exactly my take. I don’t understand humanity’s need to blame everyone and everything else for their own problems. Stop blaming tiktok for your dopamine addiction. Get help.

I’ll just say it:

Selling useless shit that kills the planet by keeping billions of people addicted to wasting their finite lives is morally wrong.

Nobody involved, whether it’s the company, influencers, or viewers will look back it from their deathbeds and see any good in it whatsoever.

I’m not sure doing good is the goal of anyone involved.

Nah, plenty of these people will look back fondly on their sports cars, cocaine and lush homes.

I’m not so sure. What I’ve heard is that pretty much everyone thinks about how they were with the people in their lives.

It’s like the shittiest QVC and it’s all over my fyp. I hate it. I’ll see the same person selling the same stupid shirt so many times. There were like a dozen people selling a ghost night light. I caved and bought one because it’s actually adorable and my wife loves that sort of stuff and I never give her spontaneous gifts, but it sags in the outlet lmao. Like it just nearly falls out. There’s a bunch of people selling some tub scrubber too right now. It’s so so annoying. I just wanna see shit posts.

Social media is bad for your brain. There’s plenty of communities on lemmy full of shitposts.

If social media is bad for your brain why is lemmy, a social media site, not?
