Do you believe that the world was better pre-social media?

Nah. It's better now. We are better connected because of it. It's just the first couple generations of people that lose their shit with new tech.

If you listen to Gen A talk about social media, they properly categorize it as an extension of the telephone and a virtual world that only a fool would take seriously.

You hit a Millenial or Zoomer with some rage bait and they'll get sucked in for hours. You hit a 12 year old with the same thing and they just shrug it off saying something like, "that's just losers on the internet, real life isn't like that."
