What used to be a criticism of social media and AI and how it rots the brain and attention spans has been made into some kind of bizarre meme that is part of youth culture. Tons of AI slop vids and Roblox/Minecraft junk.
Yea but your user name came from some GAF madness?
But seriously. Yes I watch my family member on YouTube and some of the frap they are exposed to. Seems designed to kill attention span and make you dumber. It doesn't provoke questioning in the video. It's just dumb. They should all watch myth busters and Brainiac (sort of British version of myth busters)
I searched "brainrot" on YouTube. The first video that came up was like using TikTok except someone else had control over the phone and decided to skip every three seconds. Is that what you're talking about?
