I'm to the point to where I don't even want to take pictures with people anymore because I know they can't wait to post it on their social media.
And then social media is going to make a "game" out of having them tag everyone in the photo.... And the ape addicted to saratonin will dutifully oblige.
I think it's incredibly sad that people don't seem to find much pleasure out of doing things just for the experience itself and the main value seems to come from posting it for the consumption of others online.
Sometimes I feel like I was dropped off by aliens or something because I just have such a hard time comprehending why people are like they are. Either that or I'm on the autism spectrum somewhere.
I'm just glad I was safely graduated from HS and almost done with college when AOL exploded in popularity.
It really is refreshing to see someone else value their privacy like you do and not need validation from posting selfies online.
I kinda grew up with the internet. Was using networks before a 14.4 modem was a thing. I saw broadband and the browser wars of the late 90s.
Social media and "sales/marketing" people monetizing the internet basically ruined everything. Ads used to be a rare thing. Now ad blockers have to play spy vs spy games with the money people to protect your privacy.
People want to say things like they're boring or Facebook/government knows everything about you already but that isn't true at all. It takes a lot of effort to compile an entire file on someone that holds all their important data in one place. We are now living in a time where people gladly hand it over witb a little bow tied on top.
Eh I could go on and on about how negligent the average person is. I don't think you're on the spectrum you're probably just above average intelligence which can sometimes feel like a curse.
100% agree. (Very impressed with your dedication to protecting your privacy. Smart. 👍)

100% agree, again.
