Gen-Z pre-purchase AAA games and hang out on r/Marvel salivating at the daily question some Intern cooked up for that day just so executives can mark “engagement UP” on a monthly teams call. Get fucking real. It’s the most corporate owned generation to exist.

Just look at the state of the internet now. Look at how it is built. There can be no room for creation and new. It’s all mods trying to copy and paste last weeks questions to keep numbers up. Step outside that and BAM you’re banned. Must keep the trains running.

All of this is to capture people and sell their attention to marketing teams to sell that weeks pokemon or action movie. It is so inherent in the way the internet is now that Moderators don’t even know that’s what they’re doing, let alone the users. Forums are not suppose to be like this. The internet was never suppose to be like this. You’re suppose to see a butthole every now and then. That’s how you know you are in an area they dont’ control.
