Decades? Aren't they less than 2 decades old?
I doubt we knew it's effects for decades
Speak for yourself; I thought Facebook was shitty back in 1984.
MySpace surely was one of them. Came out in 2003. So...two decades? :D
A little over two decades actually.
Iirc, I was about 16 when Myspace was a thing. I'm gonna be 40 very soon
