Whose fault is it?

Dad? Brother? Sister?

Like most stuff online nowadays, that's why it's so difficult to enjoy social media anymore, everything is staged.

And people tell me to just start having fun watching those. Like it's a switch you can turn on. I physically can't. They don't care if they're staged. But I do.

All these skits and set up "funny" clips just aren't funny or even remotely interesting to me. Am I getting old?

I just want real stuff man. No staged shit, no AI slop and no fake stories.

And no, going to watch a 2h movie with a carefully written but made story to tell isn't the same.

We ARE old haha

But, to your point, if I'm watching something staged, I'd rather watch a well produced show or movie, not talentless people that want to be famous.

I'm 25 now. I've been using internet since I was 7 or something. By 12 I had already gotten fed up with staged shit and nowadays is even more common. How can it be fun? How is someone lying and playing stupid funny? They're literally trying to trick me. It's not an old people thing, it's just common sense.

90% of the internet nowadays feels like a distraction rather than creating something people genuinely like.

I like they way you put it. That's the core problem.

So true! Things can't be funny or enjoyable unless they're candid. I literally hate television, it's so scripted. Stand up comedians literally just tell the same jokes night after night, did you know it's all rehearsed? Don't get me started on musicians.

I never said that.

What I dislike is people thinking they're talented and staging videos that are not only not enjoyable, they're cringy, and this video is somewhat there.

My point is, people trying to pass staged videos as candid, make social media I unenjoyable for me.

I think that's reasonable. Like I'll watch sketch comedy troops all day, but if they tried to pretend it's all real, they'd lose me.
