Help, I'm a boomer

in #pob17 days ago

It's a common thing these days for people to use clickbait titles on their posts, their videos and what have you, and I wish I could tell you that that's precisely what I'm doing but this is not the case at all. I'm lost!

Tuk tok

For a while now, different family members have been telling me I should get with the times and download "the Tok". That I need to succumb to the fact that it's become "the way" to share content online.

Wait a minute now...

I think I almost fried my boomerish brain with The Tok yesterday. I mean, I'm not a computer noob, that's not what I'm saying. I was able to download, install and maybe even operate it (poorly) within minutes. BUT

WTF is this?

Random people just staring at their phone doing nothing. NOTHING. Not talking, not sharing art, not even breathing properly.

About five minutes into the lion's den I find myself catching either a "Trump is God, change my mind" stream or a "Trump will consume your soul" one.

But here's my beef....

What happened to quality?

I mean, all I see is terrible, terrible. Except for the saving grace that I found @yidneth, and a couple people I know (thankfully). I would have thought talent was avoiding the platform.

Phone calls were in order....

Give it time...

I'm being told that Skynet does not learn that fast.... yet. I mean, soon it will know which one of my testicles is slightly bigger, but for now, it has no idea what to feed me.

So the plan is: Endure garbage for a few days, and let it learn things you like, until it turns you into an addict.

I'm a toddler... Explain it to me

Why is "the Tok" a thing? What is it coming to fix? What does it provide that we so desperately need in "ze vurld" so bad, that we need to commit mental sepuku to participate of it.

Ok....

1,2,3

GO!

Sort:  

I don't do the Tok and gave up on Twtr as it is run by an emotionally unstable troll. Hive is anarchy, but I find more to enjoy here.

!BEER

Elon is pretty insufferable these days...

What's your point? I'm not watching the video, but I see the account has lots of dubious content.

Watch the video. Watch the video first and hopefully you will get my point.

No, you have to tell me as I don't know what your point is. I don't have time for crap videos from dubious sources.

Then shut up, don't comment anything if you don't know what the hell you're talking about and remain in your blissful ignorance as long as you wish.

Whatever

Elon is pretty insufferable these days... I can't say I'm going to dispute your decision cuz I feel like abandoning that platform on the daily

What happened to quality?

Well, the same 'thang' that happened to all the good old products we used to buy that lasted forever but are now made and sourced from China. They are all now perishable and disposable!

I'm a toddler... Explain it to me

Uhm, well, I suspect the moral of the story here is: Learn to go with the flow of the new times or just perish in short time along the disposable products we now make jointly with your boomer mentality.

Otherwise, Tok away bro, endure garbage for a while, test the superficial waters and splash your owns everywhere. By now, it seems the only way ahead.

happy to report the Tok has began to show me live musicians... now... this I can get behind! hahaha
