Seriously what the fukk is going on?
- Thread starter SNG
- Start date
But I don’t see the younger cats dancing they either in booth with all nikkaz or posted on the wall with no chicks. The women are either taking pics with other chicks or doing a two step with other chicks.If you are looking older and your homies are older then I think that’s the answer….
Also that’s not dating
Feels like after the covid masks came off, so did people’s facades. Trump’s presence at the top of the leadership chain and the rapid advancement of tech and online shopping has had a huge influence too. Internet and social media is also creating a much more homogenized world where regional flavors are all becoming blended into one muddy mess.

Simple answer:
Consolidation.
When the internet was going mainstream in the 90s and early 2000s, it was a public square. Thousands of websites about whatever you're interested in. Now when people are using the internet they're using one of 5 websites(Reddit, Amazon, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter).
It used to be that you could stream movies through netflix OR rent a movie through blockbuster or redbox. Now if you want to watch a movie you're streaming on netflix or disney or prime.
Videogames are dominated by like 4 companies now who buy up any smaller developer with potential, then force them to work on whatever slop the company leadership believes will make them the most money.
There is a lack of domestic competition because the goal is to buy up anyone who can become competition in the future, then destroy them. You limit customer choices and you can sell them whatever you want at whatever price you want because they don't have alternatives. The government has allowed this to happen because these companies have also spent trillions lobbying politicians.
Social media has warped people's sense of reality and it's created awful incentives. Stupid or bullying comments get a lot of attention which encourages the bully or moron to double down. The collective intelligence of people is plummeting. I see posts written by people who seem like they have learning disabilities because they don't bother to even try spelling or punctuating correctly. Some of the posts online are barely coherent.
The end game for these companies is this:
Company towns and limited choice.
They want to run their own fiefdoms where you're forced to accept what they give you. The people running the movie and TV studios don't care about art, they care about profit. The same applies to all other creative industries as well. Music is worse, TV is worse, Film is worse, all because it's suits running these studios instead of former directors, producers or writers. They're attempting to replicate something that has been successful instead of taking risks because they do not understand these mediums or why they're important to people.

Well said 100 percent agree with this.

You know dating is cooked when nikkaz like Michael b Jordan are saying it’s lonely outchea.
nikka I said tech is the only thing that’s been good. But everything else has gone to shyt. The quality of new music and new movies and shows has dropped drastically.

While this is all true, you still have to put a lot of blame on the consumer. Companies go where the money is, and that's catering to the customer's needs and wants. You can buy up all the competition, but that don't mean shyt if the consumers don't want it. No one is forcing people to buy those products or use any of those services.
