Absolutely, you stop measuring the passage of time in days and years and start measuring it in experiences. When you’re young and everything is new it’s absolutely full. The 10th or hundredth time you’ve done something you handle it more easily but it also starts to seem like one ‘thing’.

Routine is the quickest way to looking back on life and feeling like it was the blink of an eye.

Fair points, though i disagree on the majority of objectively bad content being harmless. Anything on the Internet that leads people to feeling marginalized or ashamed or less than someone else is harmful. Even weight loss and beauty product ads are harmful in measurable ways. Having popularity and young kids looking up to you and using that admiration to to put people down and normalizing it is the worst kind of character and just because it’s freedom of speech and some content creators don’t do it still results in something equating to a cesspool where the less thoughtful creators can thrive.

I think it’s close to equal parts jealousy and legitimate distaste for rewarding popularity for popularity sake. So much of the toxic behavior of the popular cliche in high school makes it into the environment that it dilutes the legitimate utilization of the platform for making actually good content.

That, and the possibly justifiable hated for what some people are now considering, by extension, ‘good content’ when it all just ends up being reaction videos and meta content about content about content to the point where it’s just a bunch of rich assholes acting like rich assholes and that’s literally the content.

Honestly the worse trend I’ve seen are the channels that are effectively ‘bum fights’ with marginally less crude concepts. Let’s see how humiliated we can make my friends act for a tiny bit of money compared to how much I’m making is not, and has never been, a nice thing to do, and the platform has turned it into a lucrative job.
