  • I agree. The algorithm wants you constantly putting out annoying shit to keep their audience hooked. At first you are creative! Monetizing your hobby! Soon you have a hole on your resume, a demanding schedule, a soulless algo, a capricious audience you must grow… Yeah I think I’d take corporate life over being a streamer or whatever.

    Its even eaten traditional creative careers. Writers and artists must be online content creators above all else.

    When I was 14 I had never tried alcohol. Obviously the 21-25 crowd might be expected to spend slightly more on alcohol (maybe?) than the 26-30 crowd. But like even if Gen Z isn’t drinking (which I hear is true) I wouldn’t expect them to spend a lot on booze, for a host of reasons.
