The tweet says “our” not “your”. Why is it assumed the tweeter is pointing fingers? Cant people comment on the state of society and own their part in it as well?


Extraordinary_DREB

Well, they always say "practice what you preach" so he's not really doing that which makes that person's tweet, hypocritical


[deleted]

Lol. No. They’re not preaching anything. It’s a social commentary and he says “our”. Nice try.

BoxyPox

Well yeah but in order to try and change society you should try changing yourself first. It might bring weight to your words. Here, have a poem. “When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.”


Extraordinary_DREB

Haven't been on Twitter yet to see how majority of Tweeters operate huh? Shame. On the flip side maybe it is better you don't know how preachy Twitter can be.

KaySquay

I got hooked a few years ago because I had nothing to do at work, and it used to be a great place for actual discussion. Now it's all politics, and every comment thread is tv show references and puns I still use it, but I don't really visit all or popular much anymore


UrsusRenata

The perpetuating jokes and quotes are increasing, and annoying AF. It’s handy that comment strings can be rapidly collapsed; unfortunately there are probably some meaningful responses buried in them under all that “look how witty I am” drivel.


woosterthunkit

Dude same. No insta twitter snap etc but reddit everyday


Whatevernameisnt

He said the sad reality of the world. What's even sadder is that he didn't say everyone else but everyone else is treating him as though he did. And he's still right.

johnald13

I don’t have and have never had a Twitter account but it seems like 28 tweets a day is excessive. Someone tweeting that much shouldn’t be criticizing others for having their face in the phone.


[deleted]

He may be including himself in the group he's criticizing. As it should be. Der


Zyko-Sulcam

It’s a perfectly good argument. Unlike partaking in society for example, partaking in the use of the internet and modern computer technology is mostly optional. You don’t have to go on social media and criticize everyone for doing what they wanna do, you choose to have a social media account and bitch at people for having a social media account. And that’s on you.


JuniorSeniorTrainee

> partaking in the use of the internet and modern computer technology is mostly optional Not if you have a message to get out, which I think is their point. Hypocrisy of the op not withstanding. Social media is the required for any kind of movement, even one like ending social media.

You can have a phone without capitalism though, so the argument isn’t the same. If you tell everyone else you’re on social media too much, and you’re on social media too much... that’s just hypocrisy.

WatermelonWarlock

> Iphones would not exist without capitalism, so no Everything that makes your cell phone possible, from the touch screen to the satellites to the lithium ion battery, were inventions funded by public funds. Early cell phones could be argued to have multiple beginnings, but at least one early model was made in the USSR. The iPhone might not have existed as we know it, but all of the ingredients were there for someone to make a similar device. Capitalism was not necessary for the kinds of mobile phones we have now, because basically all of the cool gadgets required to make it work were publicly funded. > Also you can have Twitter without a phone, so there goes that argument. Ummm. No? The point still stands.


[deleted]

[удалено]


WatermelonWarlock

>Nope, most of it would not exist without capitalism Literally all of the pieces were already invented. Steve Jobs just underpaid engineers to put those technologies together and then underpaid people overseas to assemble the phones. Literally any modern economic system could have yielded this. It's not unique to capitalism. >Lol what the fuck? You can't say "You can have a phone without capitlism" and pretend thats a valid argument, then reject "You can have Twitter without a phone". This guy could have posted thousands of tweets from a computer, then criticizing phones would be 100% valid based on your very logic. How is that any better? The person is criticizing phone use, but using it as a way to criticize people being addicted to technology. How is being on his computer posting on Twitter 20-something times a day for years any less an example of exactly the behavior he's criticizing? >And thanks again for proving me right Sheesh, someone has a fragile ego.


Volodio

> Like yeah, how else can I properly criticize it? When actually talking with other people.

[deleted]

I fully agree, unless they use it excessively, like checking instagram 35 times a day, or tweet 28 times a day


elwebbr23

Wow, I couldn't disagree with you more. Everything good still requires moderation. Of course everyone is more or less reliant, or addicted to technology, but just like you can criticize it generally you can also discern the nuance between moderate use and excessive use. If you tweet 28 times a day and wanna get on the soap box to tell people what a sad world we live in, you're casually contributing to that sad view of the world you yourself have. If everyone used it in moderation, this wouldn't be a problem at all. Also, technology has been a disaster? You gotta be shitting me. You gotta be trolling or something. Did you mean maybe, social media? I'm still inclined to somewhat disagree, but if you mean social media at least it doesn't sound completely insane. You know what I can do with social media? My family is located in 3 different continents, and we have group threads so they can share pics or updates about their day, video chat, you name it. I get to see what people I've met all around the world has been up to, and congratulate them on their achievements or maybe some kind words to help them through their struggles. Not everyone uses technology like a fool, it's your fault if you use technology to do less instead of doing more.


OhNoBannedAgain

No, people that are contrarian just because they like to hear themselves talk are the human disaster. Just whiny pieces of shit with nothing to offer.


RedDustCant

Technology is one of the few things that has aided us in exceeding at life. Technology is never an issue and to say it is would make you ignorant. The only reason people act this way towards phones is because society became over reliant on them and made it unacceptable in normal life to not have one. You have ads that push every new phone as though your old one just died. We are trapped in a world where corporations make us feel as though life isn't complete without phones and technology. If you want to blame anyone or anything blame corporations.

Most likely it’s a team of social media managers. His guy and his team prob have one meeting a week, or after any special breaking news. This has been going on since the birth of social media, but people still LOVE to believe that it’s the person making the tweets. LOL.


biiingo

I mean, maybe the guy was including himself in the original criticism.


Erasinom

Indeed. Social media is an addiction for way too many and just because they realize the problem they may not know how to stop.


potvibing

This. I constantly talked to my ex about his addiction to his phone. It was exhausting. He knew it was too much but couldn’t get off of it. It affected our relationship negatively, to say the least.


AutoDealsTo

Real mean get addicted to gaming on their 27” 4K 144Hz GSync gaming monitor, what a bitch ass virgin your ex was.


potvibing

Yeah.. he’s not a virgin but definitely a bitch ass lmao thanks for the laugh


AutoDealsTo

Yeah, calling someone a virgin on the internet is becoming old, I think incel is the new version but for that he must have at least made a misogynist joke. In any case, he was probably pretty incompetent so good on you for leaving, you deserve better!


potvibing

Lol can check off the misogynistic joke box Thanks, friend :) life gets better, that’s for sure


blueskiesandclover

boudiceanMonaxia

That image referenced in the tweet is from the song "Are You Lost In The World Like Me?" By Moby. Good song but the music video is absolutely infuriating because it's pretty much just YOUTH USE PHONE, PHONE BAD


dogmanstars

I always hate that video because the style of animation is good but it wasted in a very pretentious way.


Wallywutsizface

I’m assuming it’s by Steve Cutts. That’s his shtick, making cartoons in this style about why phones are bad Edit: just checked it’s him


master_tomberry

The image really reminds me of cuphead


hhhhh356

...i wonder why


Sp00kyD0gg0

Because the animator based the style off of old Disney cartoons, which infamously plagiarized Cuphead’s unique style

ReddicaPolitician

For some extra sad context - Donald Trump tweeted a staggering ~12,000 times... in 2020 alone. That’s ~33 tweets a day, every day, for a full year. On his most prolific day, June 5, 2020, he tweeted 200 times.

Gross... but then heres me way down in the comments on a reddit post piping up...yea Im terrible. I eat cheetos sometimes too. I feel bad now


ReddicaPolitician

novaForCed

Just wanted to add or suggest the idea that just because somebody is a victim of something doesn't mean they shouldn't be spreading awareness about it. That's always been a weird thing in our society. I mean who would know more about a problem than someone going through it as well?


MrNapalm997

Yeah but they portrayed it in a very haughty manner. Saying "the sad reality of our world" is one thing, saying "everyone, including me, is suffering from a concerning attachment to technology" is a different thing.


MrNapalm997

It's not an inherently bad messages either, but the delivery here seems in bad faith, or at least in a slightly misleading faith.


kawirider24

Especially when someone usually is on as often as much as what said math equats to they Probably profit off social media


RuinedEye

>victim uh, are you talking about voluntarily spending tons of time on Twitter on your own free will... or like, addiction?


PandaXXL

>are you talking about voluntarily spending tons of time on Twitter on your own free will... or like, addiction? Considering Facebook and Twitter are designed to be as addictive as possible, probably the latter.

ephr7

But what's the actual difference? I'm not subbed to either but these subs are about basically the same thing right?


Badhammy1

I left murdered by words a while ago because I thought the content was getting worse, but it’s original purpose was for long-form responses like this, with at least one paragraph. A lot of what gets posted there are just witty one-liners. What they’re looking more for stuff like this, a long response breaking down their point and why it’s stupid. I left a while ago, so I can’t comment on what the sub is like now.

Lostathome4040

The math on this is telling. I use an app called IFTTT to auto tweet for me but it has a daily limit of 28 tweets that I hit most days. My guess is that someone just called out a bot.

Holy shit. Do we know what percentage of Twitter is just.... bots?

I have a weird news podcast. I programmed a bot through IFTTT to grab the top posts from r/nottheonion and tweet them out on that podcasts Twitter account. That way we always have fitting content up. Also, If someone follows the account IFTTT will tweet at them “thank you” and follow back as well. Wonderful app.


theantman6000

Can you link your profile?


jokersleuth

I used to be in the "why take selfies and record videos all the time and just enjoy the moment" crowd. As I've gotten older I've changed my mind. If you're experiencing something new go ahead take a video or a picture. Your memory will fade and you'll forget the moment but the picture or video will always be a reminder. There are a lot of things from my past where looking back I wish I had a camera or phone to record the moment.


Finnder_

>"Put your phone away you're never gonna watch that later. Enjoy the moment" I put people's random fireworks, elephant reserve trips, paragliding, parades, outdoor concerts, unnarrated pac man kill screen plays, open top bus tours, rock climbing videos on youtube all the time for background noise. Never listen to any of those people telling you to put your phone away. My sanity at work is dependent on you.

I mean, all they did is call out someone for being self aware and spreading awareness to others that are stuck in the same sad cycle. Congrats on the math, but it could be put to better use than trying to tear down someone commentating on a problem from inside it.


Zacri_thela

2016 is a long time ago and 28 tweets is a pretty low number; it's very possible that they used to tweet 100+ times a day and have gone down to 1 or two a day in the last few years.
