Yes, it's the social media and not the collapse of ecosystems, stagnant wages, lowered life expectancy, and no where to live.

gestures broadly at everything
Or maybe its because a bunch of olds are burning down the world around us before we even get a chance at it... but I guess its just social media doing that too?
How bout this-
Tell us something to be happy about that isn't being profitized or enshittified. Did the older generations get that?
Uhh...
I seem to be drawing a blank. The only thing I know that hasn't been profitized and enshittified is the furry community.
Yeah it's not just the fucking internet, doc. The world's on fire, capitalists own everything that hasn't been burned to the ground yet, and they're leasing it out to the rest of us at a rate that ensures we'll die in debt.
