    I think a lot of people grew up with the internet, and don’t realise just how new it is to have bad news shoved down your throat day after day just to generate clicks

    That just… wasn’t a thing before

    So I’d say, more aware, plus greedy cunts want to make you aware more often

      As someone who grew up with the internet and 28 years clocking in. I want to go back to the internet where the only news we got, was when it was in a category and it didn’t get all in your face wherever you went.

      Nowadays, everyone cannot shut up to you about what’s going on, news is 24/7. Even when you think you’ve avoided it, you’ll run into places and people that make the news their identity that have to remind you, everytime, what’s going on. It’s annoying.

      The internet back then wasn’t perfect, but it was a hell of a lot more quieter than it is now.
