It seems so absurd to me this could happen. For the boomers I understand, they grew up in an offline world, but the youth? They are raised on the modern web and smartphones but are often clueless too.
Was it the unsanitized, wild west internet era of the late 90s/early 2000s that hardened the millennials against online bullshitting?
It sure feels that way, explaining to kids that YouTubers will say anything to get you to keep watching, meanwhile the elderly are following Qanon bullshit.
You think millennials are immune to it? I feel like it’s only Gen-X that’s both cynical enough and was here for the birth of it, to be properly skeptical of everything online.
What generation? I’m an elder millenial and I always thought Google Video/Vimeo/Youtube was/is shit for any kind of actual informential content. Music videos, meme videos - sure. Other than that, veeerrry great amount of suss on any info presented. Same goes for 90+% of people of my generation, who know what kind of a jokepool 90’s/early 2000’s internet was.
Says a generation that believes everything a YouTuber tells them lol
Not a boomer btw

So what gen are you referring to?
You have to learn how to filter out the rage bait and trash content, but you have to do that offline too.
