Depends on how you USe it. Cuz before social media I didn't club like that, SO its effects on the club didn't bother me. But I have met multi millionaires and people who have given me professional opportunities I would have not otherwise found without social media.

TO put it bluntly OP is not a hustler.

It didn't ruin everything, it just exposed how mentally fragile and in need of therapy alot of people are.

If you have a strong psyche, or are a socially active person who doesn't put all their self-worth in others opinion... then social media is the GOAT.



If you are mentally weak and easily depressed by seeing others flex... social media fukked your whole life

If you spend enough time interracting with everyday people, it will be pretty easy to distinguish between what is really happening and what people online say is happening.

Which is why you can easily spot who on this forum interacts with people IRL and who gets all their talking points for IG posts

Most people are basic and ain't hustlers, and most that do are fake :yeshrug: I do have a couple businesses I want to start up. How'd you end up meeting millionaires? I'm guessing you make well over 6 figures now too?:ehh:

I remember when my older brother got a cam corder from my dad as a graduation gift back in like 1992. He took it to school on his last few days, was recording everybody, even the teachers wanted to be all up in the video.

You pull out your phone now and people start running, covering their faces, social media and tech ruined that.

I cracked 6 figures for the first time last year. I met millionaires from networking through social meetings plus I have plenty of friends from NC who moved to ATL making moves who I assist. I'm a content creator, people share my shyt, people reach out. It comes from three decades of social media starting wayyyyyy back during the Black Planet days.

Society has lost a certain charm that it once had, everything is just too out there now. Cameras are really what changed everything.

It used to be that u had to be there to experience certain moments and from there the story was exaggerated by those who witnessed it :pachaha:

Now everything is recorded to the point that nothing is sacred anymore. Everyone is a possible meme now :beli:

I think CORNY would be the best word I could use to describe the current climate

Most people you meet don't care about you though. You got 600 friends for what? And then if you fukk up you getting cancelled.

Easy to tell the people who DO care while ignoring those who don't. Then again, I was around WAY before the Internet so I've never put all my business out there to get 'cancelled' in the first place. That's the current gen's problem.

Y'all talk too much and, more often than not, about nothing. On top of that, many of you think that just because you can articulate an idea, it should be taken as valid.​

OP is a bytch. I (my homies and I) ate pre-social media. I'm scared for what would've happen, if social media were around, when we were 14-16. Numbers would be in the 1000s. :mjgrin:


#Jump down hoes IRL, last great generation (80s' (84') baby)


Gift for the Gs....curse for the incels and the insecure.
I was born in 84 too...


But we mostly ate cuz women didnt usually even see people outside their circle , company, school, city... etc. Now a random girl in Alabama seeing bytches get flown out to Dubai cuz shes advertising on the gram and got ass shots.
Angles..... got fat hoes not acting like fat hoes , ugly hoes not being ugly. Average girls would hold you over til you hit a dime.. now they think they more than a 6/10 cuz of likes.
nikkas subscribe to only fans and send money but don't even smash. Give compliments to women they will never see in real life.

Plus the average 90s and 2000s born man has zero talk game or interesting conversation. Everyone has the same phrases, thoughts, ideas, and insecurities.

Im glad I did all my dirt pre social media
