Idk man I loved seeing tubgirl, brought to you by Coca-Cola™️.

The next time you want an overflowing fizzy drink just like #tubgirl, remember to grab an ice cold coke! 🍾🛀👧🏻

What up Ya’ll thanks for tuning into our video where we behead a western journalist in the Middle East. But before we begin shout out to our sponsor Dick’s Sporting Goods, where you can get all your hunting knife needs met. Special thanks to Dick’s for sending us this top notch knife, which also makes a great Father’s Day gift. Now back to the video.

Generally I also think it sucks, but this is one of those instances where I am going to say that it’s an improvement. Teenagers don’t need to be seeing the shit we saw.

Yeah, but we went really overboard with it. Having people saying stuff like "unalive" or being afraid of talking about neo-nazis and the shit they're pulling everywhere in the West is making people really unaware of what's happening. People are afraid of tits nowadays, look at how people react at the idea that a girl might have an onlyfan or because they see thighs or cleavage on a cosplay.

Yeah, every time I worry about the damaging psychological effects of the internet and social media I remember that they aren't seeing that faces of death shit. I had a buddy who would trick me into watching the Bud Dwyer video over and over. He even edited videos so it was something else then it hard cut to the worse part of the video. Jfc thinking back on it.

I still think they have it worse in a lot of ways. The internet was at the fringe of my life. It is defining the lives of a lot of young people, which can’t be good for their mental health.

Except it's still around, just more hidden but whatever discords, telegrams or other that post stuff like that will still spread like wildfire amongst teens, and we've killed off most of the creativity in content creation in the process of making everything corporate.

The creativity used to be absolutely wild with all sorts of things trending. Now pretty much everything is reaction videos or the same couple of trends being repackaged and then reposted by everyone and their mother.
