Fellow kids, somebody please explain to an old person (not me, obviously) what is happening here. Much appreciated.
Thank you!
That, I ... Uh ...
Thank you for explaining.
Now do it in that breathy excited voice they use on those true crime copaganda shows
Sleeze is showing off apps... For some reason. Eliya has some problem with using YouTube. Mar thinks eliya has fried her brain watching too much tiktok (a video platform with notoriously short videos) and can't watch YouTube videos because they're "too long"
Can you explain this again with more skibidi? Thanks!
who else is here in 2025?
2023 in 2025 (ಠ_ಠ)
Then watch a six part episode of Dr Who from 1976 for instance: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_of_the_Daleks
It's good to have a pot of coffee and to do some knitting while watching.
The content is good, the pacing is just slow like molasses, they didn't produce that much television at that time, so they were happy to get 6 weeks out of that plot.
YouTube is not really 'social media' unless by that one means 'audiovisual media created by non-corporate entities, fellow members of society'. I guess it can be if all you watch is GRWM and 'daily updates' videos...
There are plenty of smaller content creators that are interactive with the comment section. Then there is also just the comment section like we're doing right now. There are also live streams that get interactive as well. It's absolutely a social media platform.
Discussion boards existed way before what people consider 'social media' (MySpace, Facebook, and the list goes on), places where people talk not about a topic at hand but themselves. If you consider ALL OF IT social media then I guess I agree, sure. And live streams about themselves and not, like, an open discussion about a given topic is certainly what one would consider 'social media', but like I said it's all about what you do with the platform.
Those were pretty much social sites using text with a tiny bit of media (occasional images).
Social media has a big emphasis on the media part, with video clips and images and so on for starting most of the discussions. Twitter started off mostly text and kind of became social media based on the screenshot I have seen of it.
Because we didn't have the concept of "social media" before those sites. Or at least they weren't popular enough to get a new category dedicated to them.
Someone I know can't even finish most tiktoks.
I can’t finish a tiktok video at all. The insane amount of brain-melting shit all over the screen, horrible subtitle styles, video cuts, and ubiquitously sped-up shit makes me super uncomfortable.
Well, me neither, but that's just because I'm not in the market for 15yos dancing to bad music.
I don't even use the app myself, and it was wild seeing their feed be mostly K-Pop Demon Hunters stuff, but then he looked up potatoes au gratin, watched 1 video of a recipe, and then his feed was nothing but potatoes au gratin. 😵💫
Well potatoes au gratin I am in the market for, but still not from tiktok lol.
I still remember YouTube starting out before Google and in those times, it was a remarkable feat just to get vids beyond 5 min let alone an hour. Now we're back to vids just being under a min. Crazy world.
Even Vine was 7 seconds
Vine knew what it was and succeeded in encouraging creativity to fit the format. I kind of missed it, but the best of compilations really show off how entertaining getting right to the punchline can be.
