I think social media and tech replaced hobbies
I legit haven't met anyone with a hobby since 2014. I remember early 2015 talking to some dude and he was talking about reddit and ever since then I legit haven't met anyone thar mentioned a hobby. I think social media and tech replaced them. Everything now is just watching tv shows or doing something for the gram/twitch/tik tok or whatever apps are out now

Brb in 2022, everyone's selling out infront of the camera. Do you see any souls left, much less a brain? The irony of it being that its supposed to be a superstition, but social media and cam whoring is contributing to the degradation of our values, morals, and community. Funny.

Made a thread about this a while ago. Nothing changed with social media. Most people were always vain, attention/validation seeking. Now they finally got a tool to fully express it.

The whole time I was just thinking "wtf", do these "influencers" think their posting is an actual job that deserves to be paid monetary value in addition to getting free chit thrown their way?
She talked about those in advertisement and the photographers getting paid money, so why shouldn't she? Well because they actually invested into their careers, did some type of formal training (either school, apprenticeship, etc) to do what they do. These people literally have no training, started doing it as a hobby, and expect to be paid as professionals.
They were not on the same level. These people have delusions of grandeur thinking their worth more than they actually are. I hope reality slaps them back into place. But fck this gqy earth, I don't think it will because people are too busy jacking off to their egos on the computer screen.

Yeah basically this is why I have been trying to disconnect lately. The less you're on the internet, the more you can connect with reality. The internet has become it's own little world under the web 2.0 corporate consolidation.

the internet/ tech was def. like a revolution.
the thing is, i think its a tad smarter revolution, as though they figured how to further extend their power. a lot of these things are disguised as "convenience" but really give up their personal autonomy.
the industrial revolution saw textiles, steam engine, electricity, oil, steel, etc., etc. but one pertinent point to that is i think it remained within national borders. at least moreso. those things are so foundational to society. e.g. every building using steel, every car needing oil, etc., etc. that's what our society is based on
the tech revolution upped that imo. the reach is global. ********, google, amazon, etc., etc. all have massive underwater cable distribution. your news apps sending you notis seems like its to keep you up to date. no, its to get you ingrained on your phone - to hopefully click on their website, another article; to view another advertisement, etc., etc.
like i said all of this chit is cleverly disguised as ease and convenience, etc., etc. but really its increasing their power at the expense of your individual freedom and rights
i really think people dont understand how deep this is. they have a STRANGLEHOLD on society now. that's what it was designed for. and they keep pushing it further

Perfect example is lifting culture. It used to be a legit journey for most people if they were able to stick to it (we are talking years and years to achieve a good physique), now you just take some apple sauce and become an influencer or go to the gym to film tik toks. But it has taken over the hobby of bodybuilding. 90% of the people in the gym are not taking it serious they are doing it to post on social media. Even if it's a 2 plate deadlift.

People now just work and social media. No hobbies, no skills, nothing to add to conversations. It's just what they saw online or self absorbed in their phones. I really can't figure out what they are doing on them all day, while they drive, while they chit, etc. Like they will freak out if they don't get a certain picture or something. It's so fukkin important to them. I don't understand it.
If I scroll on my phone for more than 20 mins, I get brain fog and wonder wtf is wrong with me. And I have no interest in sharing my personal life with strangers on the internet for digital hearts and comments from bots. I'd rather go outside or lift but even the gym is just people having photo shoots or filming tik toks of them benching 100 lbs with their fellow broccoli headed zoomers.

it's better to suck dink than to be killed
"My outer appearance was poor, but in this way my inner world became richer than anyone else's. Was it not natural that a young boy who suffered from an indelible drawback like mine should have come to think that he was a secretly chosen being? I felt as though somewhere in this world a mission awaited me of which I myself still knew nothing." --Yukio Mishima
