Social Media Is Weird

I don't exactly use social media as much as I used to, which is strange to think about because it used to be pretty central to a lot of my life! A majority of my friends were always online friends, so to keep up with what they were doing I used twitter, instagram, stuff like that! Nowadays you'd be lucky to see me on a site for more than 15 minutes, mostly cause I'm too busy with real life stuff. (cleaning and cooking takes up more of my day than you would think)

Anyway, it's a little funny to be making this while technically on a social media, although I still don't use this very much due to not being at my computer for most of my days. Part of me wants to use this more though, since I am very nostalgic for older internet since I did grow up on it, but I was waaayyyy too young for the social medias at the time. (Remember google+? That was funny)

The main social media I do use though is youtube, and yes it does count as social media, my brain doesn't like the way that sounds though! But despite how much I use youtube, I find myself kind of dissatisfied with it a majority of the time? I feel old whenever I complain about things being better back in the day (and I'm not even old, I'm quite young!) but really a lot of the internet does just suck now! You could probably just point at AI and advertising and honestly I'd agree with you on why I don't find it as fun to use the internet anymore, and I mean, yeah. 

I guess a lot of the things on the internet tend to feel a bit disingenuous and don't make me feel too much. I could very easily be to blame for this, I don't tend to seek out many different creators all too actively, cause I'm totally aware that those people do exist! I just wish they weren't so difficult to find! I even have this issue with some other socials I use, like bluesky, but again I really don't use the site all too often.

I didn't exactly have a goal in mind when writing this, sorta just airing some thoughts I've been having and also wanted to try making a blog. This is not well structured whatsoever but if I write more of these I will probably try to do a better job. I also need to make my profile more interesting. But I'm lazy, and css makes me angry, and I refuse to let anyone do it for me because I've literally been making websites for the past 5 years. They are of varying quality, mind you, but still, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE THIS OUT!!!

That's it for this, bye bye.
