Abe Simpson said “I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!” but today’s “it” is vapid, misinformational, and malicious.

Nope. I’ve deleted Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit each about 3 years ago. I will give you that Vine and TikTok have historically ticked those boxes, which is why I never had any reason to use them. Companies found that more engagement means more ad money and more sellable user data, and content that is problematic or superficial tends to provide more engagement, or bad actors intentionally poison the well of content for their own agenda. People also bring that profit-motivated content onto other sites, including sites without a profit motive. Yes, there definitely were these problems everywhere online since the beginning, but the way they breakdown our language, ways of communicating, and understanding has been manufactured to become more severe.

They’re already on the internet. Well, except for Vine since that site has been toast for a while now.
What does that even mean?
You’re on the tippy top of the internet iceberg. All of the corporate-facing shit. All of the stuff that’s been filtered, nicewashed, and just overall made sane enough for you to take in without losing your sanity.
You haven’t seen the forums with people popping a 12ga into their forehead live, and all the other dregs of the internet that don’t reach the surface internet.

It was a quick example for someone who didn’t understand the concept you dipshit. I’m sorry that I was at work and didn’t have time to COMPILE a fucking compendium for your dork ass. Nobody is being “edgy” here. Holy shit you wannabes are so white-washed.
