Lowkey… what happened to the internet? To creativity? To people being interesting  instead of boring shells with good lighting? Social media legit feels like one giant factory churning out clones and telling you it’s “personal expression.”

Twitch and Twitter are overrun by VTubers who barely try, but it’s not just them. The whole online world melted into the same five trends. Same look. Same sound. Same “algorithm-approved personality.” People don’t even exist—they’re aesthetics, templates, brands. Everyone’s “unique” but somehow identical. 

And the algorithm is literally raising kids on this nonsense. They grow up thinking every “category” of person is supposed to look exactly one way because that’s all the feed shows them. Little kids get confused when reality doesn’t match their feed. Latinas all wear the same eyeliner and shape? “Wait, that’s not me?” Some lady flies to Korea and expects plastic-barbie men. Kids are seeing political propaganda, adult drama, and porn-level content before they even understand themselves. Their brains are marinating in curated stereotypes and “trending” chaos. And society wonders why they’re shallow, anxious, and confused.

You see it in creators too. People look creative—insane outfits, artsy photos—but then you meet them and it’s cardboard. No hobbies, no stories, no spark. Just aesthetics. The internet rewarded style over personality, so now you have humans who look cool but talk like bland cardbored . CookieSwirlC? She went “dark side” because her main viewers grew up. The toy-unboxing sparkle magic disappeared, replaced with bland algorithm-approved content. It’s the same story over and over: personality gets stripped away to survive the feed.

TV shows? Bland. Reboots, remakes, reheats, pretty much a freezermeal  No passion, no creativity, just corporate hands grabbing cash. Kids’ shows are brain-melting noise, designed to kill attention spans. Music is recycled. YouTube formats are cloned. Creativity is punished unless it fits the algorithm. Fame? Too easy. Everyone can be famous now, and none of it’s actually impressive. Everyone’s just a slightly recolored version of 60 billion other people.

Trends are worse. Stanley cups, Labubu toys, overconsumption everywhere. People act like they’re expressing themselves but it’s all pre-selected. Different colors don’t make you unique. You’re a clone with a new paint job. We’re building societies of mannequins pretending they’re human 

Labels? Everywhere. Girls and boys in boxes: baddies, alts, skater dudes, cottagecore fairies, gym bros. People can’t just exist—they must pick a lane, a personality preset, and behave exactly like the algorithm expects. Kids internalize it. Personality becomes performance. Humans are flattened into templates for easier scrolling and for consuption 

Hookup culture? A disaster. Dating is now a conveyor belt of rosters and “next next next.” Adults talk about hooking up like it’s their job, bragging about rosters like they’re trophies. Connection and respect for your body feels like weaknesses. Vulnerability is a virus. Kids grow up thinking intimacy is disposable and feelings are optional. The algorithm teaches them numbness. Sex and drama are everywhere. Respect for bodies and emotions is gone Imagine your little girl growing up thinking hooking up is okay

Everything is hypersexualized, everyone chasing views, everything recycled, bland, and brain-numbing. Music, art, creators, media, social media, trends, labels, kids growing up on algorithms—it’s all flattened, sanded down, beige, predictable. People look creative but aren’t. Kids are taught the wrong things at the wrong time. Fame isn’t rare, it’s meaningless. Society is raising clones, teaching them the world is just aesthetics, consumption, and superficial chaos thats generated 

The charm is gone. Creativity is punished. People are numb. Media is bland. Trends are identical. Everything is sexualized. Labels crush personality. Hookup culture dehumanizes intimacy. The algorithm is raising generations of humans who think sameness is expression.

i hope that this will all change
