Random thought dump here.. it’s kind of crazy how we all discuss the implications of the internet and social media on society and culture whilst all seeing dramatically different “versions” of the internet
The TikTok/Twitter/Instagram that I know is totally different than the version you’re familiar with. Dropping into your feeds would give me a totally different impression of what those platforms are
Basically, the way everyone mentally models and perceives these platforms is unique. YouTube in my brain is literally a different application than the YouTube in your brain
We’re probably really underestimating the impact of these differences on the way we view the world around us
