I remember being on R/TheWalkingDead and someone made a post how they thought one of the new characters was a transwoman. I corrected him and said it’s a real woman because she was played by a female actor. Then someone came into the replies saying “TRANSWOMEN ARE REAL WOMEN” It’s amazing how these people on social media apps tend to make politics their entire personality
Since the mid 2010s I feel like this whole political landscape has gotten so much worse over on Social Media. No matter which side you're one its always hate after hate.
i think its good that Social media is on a decline, social media was good at first to establish and maintain connection between peers and family. now its changed for the worse, now we got people here in america wanting to become social media famous more than wanting to be something that is marketable or reputable, clout chasers, and gives voices to the most unbearable people imaginable ( Ex tumblr users and Edgy/angsty mf's). People now a days , especially people who are younger than me are extremely impressionable ( im 26), we got the god awful red pill community, idiotic political extremists on the left and right having a louder voice, People disrupting the peace for the sake of clout, and dont get me started on the e celebs reside on twitch. its more than just changes imo, its the toxic nature that insta/twitter(x)/facebook that was cultivated.
Sadly most of the young generation (Gen Z and Gen Alpha) are spending too much time on Social Media and they fail to understand how the real world works.
Toxic cesspool. I was addicted to it from 15-23 (23 now, off of it for 2 months) and it’s a horrible place. Not worth using unless it’s for a business purpose. Just brain poison like the rest of social media.
I did it twice. First time it was garbage. Second time was after Musk bought it and I thought it'd be better. Nope still garbage. Not going back a third time.
I remember twitter being a far left, hypocritical, censor happy, cancel culture ridden hellhole from 2017 all the way to less than a year ago. I dont know where this nostalgia for that era comes from, it was awful.
Dude I would love to see a collaboration between you and MoistCritikal/Peinguin0. I feel like you guys are really alike and it would be interesting to see you guys interact with each other😊
Smartphones ruined social media. That's when the terminally online idiots started showing up. Back then social media was something you logged into at the end of the day for a few hours.
Yeah the biggest problem with Social Media is that everyone including their mothers (literally. Look at FB) is on it trying to have their opinions put on blast. Now you have children being given unlimited access to Social Media. Now we need laws and regulations to protect children. It's honestly a mess.
I used to love Pinterest to organize my ideas for things like spaceship designs and so on. Than they stated putting ads which visually distracts you and is immersion braking. If I want to look at images of a certain topic I do not want outside influences
Great video Optimus! I would like to point out that TikTok wasn’t completely original. Vine & Triller initially popularized short formed content. So if anything, I feel like Tik Tok’s predecessors created the wave and Tik Tok rode it.
I find the original Vine more harmless than Tiktok. Back then many people actually liked funny content, but then it just got worse when TIktok showed up.
Honestly this changes in the internet aren't good for the average person, but for me who uses internet for business, a lot of profit can come from all these different cultures. Even if they are a bad demographic of people. Everyone has been taken advantage in some way in the internet nowadays. Even you by big companies if it was a pre-ordered game that didn't come out complete or a dropshipping business that sold a product to you at 15+ more dollars. But I still need to say that I wish I could turn back time to the good old days.
First “podcast” that I have ever even thought about attending and staying consistent. Opti just built different and is one of the only channels that some bull hasn’t come out about
I listen to the official podcast everyday as im just cooking or doing whatever. If you make these episodes anywhere from 50 minutes to an hour thirty, i will guaranteed listen. They are kinda therapeutic
im Danish never took social media seriously it is far too censored to be social my culture does not belong there they also seem unhealthy everyone is so angry and just laying in wait for the next person to have a bad take so they can all collectively pounce on them in some mob mentality
I know Denmark has a low population but if you google Danish words you mostly just get Danish corporate tv channels that existed before the internet. the Danish youtubers that are not corporate are just random kids making videos like 2005 but in hd. in that regard Denmark feels like its behind the times permanently stuck in 2005. and before you say its because of low population there is way more going on on the finnish speaking internet.
why would you watch a Dane on TH-cam when i can turn on TV and get the uncensored version? it just makes no sense to use the platform if not for watching a foreign channel ill clarify you found TV2 and DR1 they are both considered national channels and are the oldest they follow the Danish constitution in which §77 prohibits censorship
The only social media i use, current Is Only TH-cam. I stopped using others, ever since the start of rona. Never felt so good. I was there during the rise of social media. 2010's. Did my tour lol im done. Im only 25. Its hard but its worth it ppl.
I like TH-cam for some parts and I use it to see videos like this one, social media is making younger people really antisocial in public, I ran into so many younger people with worse in public social skills.
Facebook actually sucks rn , all I can see in several scrolls are sponsored or suggested post , what happened to the pages I followed ? I am gonna extract all my data to a drive and maybe nuking it
Hot take. I've long stopped using both Facebook and Twitter. But just recently started using TikTok as they're a tad more usa based now. And it feels so new and freshing to use. And the algorithm seems way better than TH-cam's.
@plutoskis1661 it is. there's studies it's changing the brain. the op likes it cauae it's dopamine hits.. shorter attention makes u crave more and more. that's how mobile game works vs Long form
Every platform is becoming the same thing but would you rather be on the platform that offers you a piece of the revenue or a platform that takes your data for and rots your brain with nothing in return
TikTok did not revolutionised social media. It just show, people like short form content (duh) and how possibly to monitize on it. Some of older short videos, that are somewhat 1 minute became short, even through they were funny without TikTok format.
I'd just recently joined TikTok within the past month and completely disagree with. TikTok is becoming a larger competitor to TH-cam and such with live streams and longer video lengths and a much better algorithm than TH-cam.
@@belstar1128 sounds like ya never used TikTok. I honestly felt the same way. Until I actually started using it. There's a reason it's getting more popular and being used as a search engine
I remember Friendster, learning to customize my profile with cringe weebshit through CSS and applying the same stuff to my Gaia profile. Good times. Simpler times.
My prediction for the future of social media apps in general is that in a decade, the social media apps will be more less the same while the social apps are more corporate driven and soulless in next 10 years.
yhr problem with timtok and stuff is lack of genuinity and realness. everything seems fabericated to jump on a trend, for clput, or vortue signalling.. vs real moments. spvial media also soeant feel real.. we know people are showing u what they want u to think..
you made a mistake: thinking we have 30 minutes of attention span rambling about social media when we're ALL addicted :( *help* i cant watch this without having 10 different screens at once
I think it’s a good thing every app is implementing multiple BASIC features. That means we’re moving faster towards an all purpose social media app. TH-cam is sorta like that. That’ll be the day. It’s gonna be awesome.

Exactly or you’re trying to tell a political fact but you’re giving an “opinion” or “propaganda”
Since the mid 2010s I feel like this whole political landscape has gotten so much worse over on Social Media. No matter which side you're one its always hate after hate.
these people are seeking validation and just go with the "right" opinions, unfortunately they probably have a sad unfulfilling life
@@snakecof1850 there’s actually thread called r/unpopular opinions and it’s literally just popular opinions said in a edgy or pandering way.

this. the fo us became narcassim and xeleb and attacks vs juat connecting friends family and people ur interested in(hobbies)
I took a huge break from Social Media because affecting my mental health, and after a 2 year hiatus I felt so much better.
Well said
Although a good thing with social media platforms declining is that people are starting to get off of them which boostes morality
❤
Sadly most of the young generation (Gen Z and Gen Alpha) are spending too much time on Social Media and they fail to understand how the real world works.
And going outside more!
Worthless apps
The internet became too mainstream. Both a good and bad thing. Lots of people who never grew up on early internet can't handle it.
Can you explain further please
@@jakebrooks7481 The people who get mad and offended at literally everything. The internet allows these people to scream at the top of their lungs.
@@leopard_52not only that but these same people want to pass laws on how internet is used.

Nostalgia part maybe referring to the meme post and actual harmless/not the things you mentioned.
And now I feel like Twitter has gotten 4chan levels of awful.
You should have Upper-Echelon on your podcast. He'd be a great guest.
Absolutely
Dude I would love to see a collaboration between you and MoistCritikal/Peinguin0. I feel like you guys are really alike and it would be interesting to see you guys interact with each other😊
Here's an idea: A social media that respects privacy.
Now that's a 1 billion dollar idea. :)
Gotta make money somewhere

Since the mid 2010s Social Media has been going downhill.
Yeah which that is the years where even the internet has starting to get more toxic and even dangerous to even use
People need to stop spending so much time on Social Media and do things in the real world.
This man needs a spotify,that woukd be good stuff
Social Media has been a Cesspool with no redeeming Qualities ever since Tom sold Myspace to Newscorp. Thats when the Internet Died.
Wait optimist doing a second episode of a podcast? That's unheard of!
We should all take a month off and see how much it will make us all feel
The uncle complaining about politics on Facebook is sp relatable and sometimes it's kinda funny when they fully hit off the mark.
I used to love Pinterest to organize my ideas for things like spaceship designs and so on. Than they stated putting ads which visually distracts you and is immersion braking. If I want to look at images of a certain topic I do not want outside influences

These are really good i dont know why i haven't gotten this recommended like your other videos
I really enjoyed listening to this podcast, definitely will be tuning into the next one!
The internet was a mistake
Always has been
I listen to the official podcast everyday as im just cooking or doing whatever. If you make these episodes anywhere from 50 minutes to an hour thirty, i will guaranteed listen. They are kinda therapeutic
I feel like social media was ruined because of greed
NOW! When has it ever been good 😂
nothing like a new vid lets goo
I would say that I like the podcast to be longer like the first episode
Facebook used to be good, until ads increased.
Instagram used to be so good, until ads increased.
…
And facebook used to be for everyone until it became the social media platform for old people
new uploads are always hype!
I liked social media before "hate speech" was a thing, i would rather get called slurs everyday.
Nowadays its just people trying to look for anyone or anything to hate on and trying to cancel famous people for dumb reasons.
You can tell that Pewdiepie warns us about the Twitter or X platform.
So yeah Twitter or X make us depressed, suffer silence, smoke followers, etc…

I only use Facebook most because I have family and friends on it that I can go see and TH-cam that’s it. The rest is useless.
I feel like technology in general is too much for us for now, therefore we should hit the brakes on it sooner or later.
The people is the reason why all of this started.
I cannot talk to every woman I want in my inbox when it comes to social media
Yeah twitter really has gotten even worse after elon. I saw a movie accurate ET cosplay getting railed on the front page a month or two ago.
Optimus should have Scrubby as a guest and the episode should be about why he left and why others are leaving content creation
I had a twitter then forgot my password and never tried to get on it since I think I was in high school so I don’t remember much
