Nah tik tok is plagueing everybody but maybe the younger kids just grew up with it even more

Maybe the younger ones still elastic brains were just too vulnerable

I think there is a lot to this. One of the big divides I've noticed is that these younger zoomers seems to conflate what is socially acceptable with what is advertiser-friendly, and I have to assume a lot of that comes from growing up in these heavily corporate-controlled spaces in comparison to the "wild west" of the internet that raised us.
