tiktok is just soft pron, so i understand young people watching young beautiful girl dancing. we dream to become super hero and gen Z just want to become popular idol, easy to comprehend really.
My friend sends me funny tiktoks that might be reposts from snapchat and other plagurized videos and sometimes even something original, no lip syncs and dances just memes. Tiktok can cope with memes but I'm still not downloading it cuz people reopload same stuff in shorts

The biggest difference between the Millennial defending it to the boomer & The Gen Z explaining it to the millennial is most if not all Gen Z acknowledge it's dumb and doesn't make sense
I'm 32 and dear god I've never seen a more accurate representation of myself in quite awhile honestly. Crazy how people want us to believe that TikTok is some great thing when it's just a copy of Vine but without the actually funny people and with way more of the cringe factor.
How could it be a copy of vine if vine only allowed 6 second clips?also there is a lot of funny people on tiktok,dancing is not the only thing on tiktok
@@pirilon78 except millenial zach actually made a solid point about YT videos tending to actually take some amount of time/effort to produce. even the most low effort stuff takes time to edit. so....it wasn't *just* about hypocrisy. although there was some of that. but it wasn't the entirety of it. now i don't agree with OP about tiktok *just* being a copy of vine. and really, im willing to bet that a lot of what went up on vine was garbage too. otherwise every vine compilation wouldn't just be a reordering of the same 30 vines. But to say that the point of the video was just about hypocrisy is...quite reductive
Year 2004, i am happy i grew up with youtube and honored to have been there especially in 2017 with the vlogging and diss tracks. This tiktok shit is the worst thing i've ever seen
Vine was peak short form and I'll never be swayed otherwise. Sucks being smack between genz and millennial because, well you get the hate from anyone who hates either.
"You were born in the 1900's" LMFAO ITS TRUE BUT I CANT. Also as a GenZ person I don't get TikTok too. At least you gotta be charismatic/smart for gaming videos.
I wholeheartedly agree. I’m absolutely in the target audience for TikTok and short form media in general, and I still hate it with my entire existence.
If TikTok is dancing for you then that means you've been liking those videos. I have not seen a dancing TikTok in about a year. It's mostly Steve Irwin's son talking about animals, and spooky videos with really good editing.

@@JB00GIE22 I think people are just too quick to hate on stuff that's different. I'm 25, I don't use Tiktok, because I like stuff likes longer and more substantial. But like, I'm not gonna complain about its popularity.
The main point about gaming channels (for me) was all of the jokes and funny events happening, not that much about the game itself, gaming is not something that everyone could dedicate time to, so gaming allowed people to have similar in some cases even more enjoyment without having to play the actual game
Exactly what I was gonna say. And tick tac has neither entertainment value nor engaging content! It's just the same thing over and over without even any substance to it! How can kids not get tired of it? I think the answer is simple. Because the videos are so short the brain goes "its just a couple of seconds, whatever" and since it's the brain of a child who doesn't understand how time works they get stuck in this perpetual loop of watching these clips over and OVER just cause they are short enough
@@kanrey5978 agree I have seen kids ruin their attention spans by constant scrolling, sometimes they find something that they like but it's just a vicious addictive cycle reminiscent of battle royals where you win only a few times per game.
@@kanrey5978 There's a difference between engagement and addiction, UA-cam excels in their engagement and quality while Tiktok is just a new form of addiction. It's honestly terrifying how all of these little kids are now exposed to an addiction right when they are born. You wanna know the worst part? Tiktok in China is like youtube, it has proper, non-addictive content without the stupid trends and stuff like that. China is getting the west addicted to this on purpose in order to ruin our future generations...
@@deatheater6222 I learned European history (Prussia vs Austria vs Germany were tough) and fixed my washing machine (diagnosis, part ordering, install) from info presented on UA-cam. But thanks for your opinion!
honestly I am with the Boomer... I never watched people play games unless I wanted to see the gameplay before buying a game myself. But TikTok makes me think that maybe we should just stop. I mean humanity had a good run but maybe its time to stop and to go back to monke...
One of the first thing I remember about youtube was some video everyone talked about where some boy climbed something and was yelling loudly "I am hardcore!!!" ("jestem hardkorem", since it was Polish). It's not exactly better than dancing on camera. Now there is also good content on youtube, and I'd guess there is probably some good content on tiktok as well. I've even seen some in shorts. When you're a user, you can find good content. If you're not, you only see some of the most popular stuff, but come on, most popular stuff on yt is never really good either. So it appears very opaque and generic.
@@tymondabrowski12 Very well put! On any popular platform there's going to be a pretty high dross to gold ratio? To me the 5 Min Crafts type channels of the YT world are equally as asinine & dangerous as the r*pe-culture-glorifying "killer date" crap recently cropping on TikTok. But then, there are a few genuinely creative posters like One Shot Quips (née One Shot Questers) who started on TikTok and transitioned to making awesome YT content? Perhaps the format of TikTok exacerbates the proportion of crap, however? Given the posts are so short, it takes real skill to make them creative, clever or informative... and they're necessarily catering to an audience with a significantly shorter & shallower attention span too 🤦🏻♀️
I can relate to this deeply in my soul but the explanation is simple: It's because Tiktok is primarily designed for children and teens. Exactly like ringtone rap and that stupid fucking "Crazy Frog" going "ring bading ding ding" over famous songs for when us millennials were children/teens. It's all about short, compact stuff you can show your friends during a 5 min break at school. Yes, good short form content does exist but that really isn't the primary purpose of it all. It just makes people feel older than they are because a whole lot of marketing stuff is driven by kids and teens. You just didn't notice when you were a kid because you "discovered" it and it totally wasn't blasted into your face in TV ads, early online ads and huge internet forums that were the big social media platforms back then.
Too long. 90% of youths ain't gonna read it 🚶🏾♂️ Edit: finally read it and I don't see why you'd write something like that (it's not important or attention grabbing) How old are you? 😐
Oh yeah, now that you mention it, our generation DID have idiotic shit like that too. Thanks, now I'm no longer worried that I'm just getting old. Because when I was 13, I already hated that shit with a passion. The only difference is that it used to go away after a few weeks/months, but thanks to TikTok, there's a constant stream of new, brainless bs 😒
I'm from the 90's, and I don't really get most of popular youtube or tiktok. I just sit in my niche little corners of the internet most of the time, but I know how weird those can be to outside observers (I have spent days of my life counting numbers with strangers online). I think I have always related with both sides of this supposed "generational" interaction. Though, I have never thought of it as being an age difference, but a difference of taste and experiences (basically just another classic nature+nurture thing).
@@endergamer7505 I get the feeling that many of the people who watch Zach's other channel at least have some sense of what I'm talking about. Math communities aren't exactly vastly popular or experienced by everybody, and explaining to a random person that you enjoy learning about clever math proofs will often be met with a confused response. My original comment is talking about the same idea, but applied to the difference of general shared cultural experiences of those growing up at different times. So while we may share many experiences with our generational peers, our unique individual experiences and natural inclinations are still important factors in how we interact with the mediums of pop culture. tl;dr: we're all individuals, regardless of shared experiences or interests.
Lol the 15-second sex tape joke came out of nowhere But seriously though, those type of popular dance TikToks objectively take orders of magnitude less effort, time, creativity, and novelty to make and be successful at.
I had a dog step on my britney spears cd and break it when I was younger. I was so mad at it that I kicked him. Now I know he was just trying to help heh.
YES. Tiktok "trends" are so mindnumbingly stupid it makes me lose faith for the future generations. Lets Players you have to actually be funny and creative and it actually takes effort to do. And Millennial Zach is right, even if the prank videos are fake they're still entertaining
Not necessarily be funny. Or creative. It's not a 1 or a 0. Let's player needed more effort, more time, to be funnier... To succeed. There were still some extremer case. Likewise, those that came before lets player needed more effort more...
@@poutineausyropderable7108 you’re right except for all these chess streamers that popped up recently. Because each generation knows more then the previous one and the game never changes so I’d argue it’s harder every year that goes by. Also you can get away with not being funny or personable if you’re ridiculously good at your game. Plenty of examples of aholes with a lot of subs just because they’re filthy with the mouse flicks or whatever.
This is the thing, fake pranks aten't entertaining as he said in the video but at least they took some effort, TikTok is just do stupid stuff for 10s, idk I don't even have it.
I wouldn't say effort... i have lets play video's and i am just myself... no editing just my raw humor. Its not hard at all. And yes i do have a few subs. I may not be a pewdiepie. But even he started out just straight up screaming at his screen and webcam. And people found it funny. Being a lets player is easy as fuck. You just have these days competition with over 10 years of experience and 1.000.000 more followers then you. And to attract ANYONE you would literaly have to proof that your just as funny as the next guy. Thats the only hard part about it. But being one is easy.
@@HorrorGirl-tb2yo Yeah especially with the internet, early Gen-Z was in the middle of corporatizing, whereas late Gen-Z is in a fully corporate internet.
Tiktok capitalizes on beauty or physical attractiveness, less on personality or skills. Well, there's humour and educational content here and there but the most famous ones got away with just looks(which isn't outright bad because if you've been lucky with those genes, why not). At the very least, props for them for maintaining their figures and keeping up with their beauty routines.
Here's the thing: gaming is a culture. A massive one with many many subdivisions, generations, and variations. Bobbing your head, whipping your hair, and shaking your a** is not a culture and it does not deserve to be one.
Wholly agree with the latter part of your comment but as for gaming - why is it a culture either? The entire point of video games is to allow those who cannot play physically to enjoy the thrills of games. What's the point of watching someone else play something you can yourself play?
@@manswind3417 For me it depends on the gamer. There's this guy from a game channel, Call Me Kevin. He adds a good amount of comedy (and psychopathy lol) to his videos, which leaves me laughing my ass off for days 😂 Now if the gamer is boring, only plays and talks BS and brings nothing diverse to their content, then I'm out.
I'm from the Silent Generation 🙋🏼♀️ and I understand both UA-cam and TikTok 🤷🏼♀️ it's no different to television. Edit, I hate the repetitive nature of TikTok videos. I do wish people on TikTok would be more original 🤷🏼♀️
I personally can't enjoy tiktok just because I can't get the algorithm to show me content I like, but it comes down more to what side of tiktok you're on. There are a lot of educators, chefs, comedians, songwriters, and other walks of life who make it big on tiktok. It's really great to see different generations coming together though :)
I mean then there is the older side of Gen Z, we really couldn't give a shit about random dances but we are into shitposting and still have experienced a lot of stuff millennials have and millennials, you really aren't crazy for thinking TikTok doesn't make sense, so do we.
Older Gen Z reporting! I miss viral videos and early 2010s cartoons And... you know... not feeling critically depressed to the point I'm barely holding on

@@cannedcan9788 Considering how things have been the past 3 years... they probably won't... tbh I'm having a lot of issues finding anything good or even remotely positive coming in the future anymore
The hard time-limit on Vine fostered a lot of creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. It forced creators to really plan and consider their content in order to fit everything they wanted within that 6 second period.
I am happy that this is an option for people. What happened to the intriguing and creative songs, and dances? They still exist, but they’re in the niche bands now.
I think people just have shorter attention span I don’t use Tiktok but I love watching UA-cam shorts sometimes so I kind of get how addicting it, especially those short skits that are quite entertaining.
It's easy to explain UA-cam to parents. Basically everyone can start their own TV show and the popular ones get money from the commercials they run. Also, to understand how video game playthroughs are popular just think of it as football or baseball. Most of us know we'll never put in the time or effort to be as good as them but we watch to see the game played to it's full potential. As for Gen Z to Millennial I don't know what's going on there. I think we just didn't give Gen Z enough attention growing up.
yeah a lot of us gen z-ers were just parented by screens and that is why so many of them are such losers, and im glad my parents actually parented me lol
@@JB00GIE22 although i'm probably not the person you asked this to, honestly tiktok is just full of bullshit and toxicity, it's not even a goddamn stereotype anymore. i tried avoiding anything i found crappy and bad but you literally can't. just stating one statement blatant opinion on any topic/video will get you at least 10 angry hate replies. even for small fucking fandoms you can't escape anything they come up with and attack ppl with.
Okay I think we should split Gen Z into two. Hear me out- there’s the one portion that grew up with normal things like Minecraft, the family computer, the outdoors, the Xbox 360, OG UA-cam, and all that good stuff. Then you’ve got the portion that grew up with...other stuff (you know what I mean). And so now we’re completely different! Please tel me I’m not the only one who noticea
As a Gen Z, it sucks to watch all these really intelligent people around me get addicted to TikTok and Instagram and such, and wanting to replicate what influencers on social media do rather than apply their own intelligence to something more useful.
I can't get into tiktok just because I can't get the algorithm to show me content I like. Really though its more to what side of tiktok you're on. There are a lot of educators, chefs, comedians, songwriters, and other talented people who make it big on tiktok doing what they love :D
As a millenial, don't worry, teens in my generations were just like that too. It just looked different. Making selfies from above and posting them on facebook (or apps before facebook), reading fora all day long, trying to replicate tricks they saw on just starting yt or just "videos" found on the internet. And the magazines (paper ones), particularly (in my country) "Bravo", and all other teen magazines. It's not purely a gen Z thing to be interested in trends and addicted to whatever seems interesting around.
To be fair tho, I have multi-hour long video game vids playing on my 3th monitor while I'm playing two different games on my two other monitors. I'm never actually only watching this stuff. But having 30 second clips of random nothings on my 3nd monitor would be pretty annoying tbh. Boomers and zoomers both don't get it.
@@somebody5329 I usually keep it varied, only occasionally watching the same thing I'm playing. If sound is an important element in the game I'm playing, then having the same game in a video playing similar audio can get confusing and annoying.
To be fair, being entertained by watching someone else play a video game isn’t much different from Boomer being entertained by watching sports. Both millennials and boomers are watching a game instead of playing it themselves. The game is just different.
As a millennial who love sports I was about to go. No, its not the same thing ! and list all the reasons why you are so wrong....but I refuse to fall into that trap.
No no, please elaborate. Especially for team games like moba’s where it’s 2 teams facing off to touch the opponent team’s goal in some way, and there are professional teams and tournaments. Tell me how that’s different than throwing a ball into another team’s hoop. Or kicking it into their net.
Funny enough, I'm gen z (born 2002) but my parents aren't millennials, they're gen x (between boomers and millennials) who are constantly on Facebook and Tik Tok. They're on their phones more than I am...
Lmao children here saying they're "opponents of tiktok" and "fighters in the great crusade for the liberation of the internet from the dancing menace" (ok maybe not the 2nd one verbatim but you get my point), I admit that almost everything on tiktok isn't good at all but that is a little pathetic
@@MrMiddleWick I find it really interesting both the way society treats counterculture and what society considers counterculture: a good example for the second one is how at first nerds were considered to be "squares" and highly conformist and so were considered uncool since society at the time thought that everything nonconfromist was uncool and vice versa, but then nerds became viewed as geeks and gamers and computer experts (which were at the time considered fringe and niche things) and so became cool and you had people do stuff like call themselves nerds, and now since basically everyone does stuff like play video games it's considered more normative therefore you see more Memes hating on nerds, like "🤓".
it's just a simple fact of the matter that in the age of the internet, effort does not perfectly equal success. when the main form of content was television and movies, you had to spend a *lot* of money, and the actors have to put a lot of work into their acting careers. That's what "boomers" associate with becoming famous from your content. To them, being able to become rich and famous off just sitting in your home, and recording videos is something completely unreal, and it's seems like so much less effort than what they're used to in terms of content that they can't wrap their head around it. Tiktok is just the next generation, "millenials" are used to youtube videos, that at the very least, you'll have to sit down for at least a an hour or two recording and editing, possibly much more depending on the length of the video. The idea that you can become famous with recording 1 minute clips with your phone is just as hard to wrap your head around as it was for the previous generation. It doesn't matter how many hours, minutes, or seconds it took to make the content. that's just how the internet works, and one of the few places that does work like that, so we just have to accept it.
I’m a millennial and I kind of like tiktok. Sure, people doing the same memey dances to whatever’s on the top 40 is boring, but there’s a lot of fun sketch comedy, original music or dance composition as well as the audiovideo equivalent to meme templates. Plus just general relatable content.
I was today years old when I finally looked the age range of Gen Z and realized I'm a part of it. I just always saw posts about Millenials bashing Gen Zers that I thought "lol they're so cringe. I don't do that. I'm probably a millenial" I'm so ashamed
@MisterRaccoon yes that's all you need to steal someone identity. So it's safe if you give me your SS number, your mother's maiden name, your first pets name, your date of birth, and the name of the first street you lived on. Lol. No I'm asking to see if his parents are Gen X.
I remember this one girl I met could not even begin to understand why I didn’t have TikTok on my phone………. She was literally saying that you needed it and when I said that I have UA-cam she looked at me and was like ‘ew nobody uses UA-cam’
I wonder why, in the comment section of a UA-cam video, everyone agrees with the millenial. But serios, I'm also totally pro-YT, but there is also some funny (sometimes even intelligent) stuff going on on TikTok (not the lip sync and dancing shit, of course). I don't have the app, but I enjoy watching UA-camrs react on TikToks.
callmekris actually does some funny stuff. not sure how long it takes to edit/upload, but at least its original (or appears to be. who know if she stole the jokes).
im a millennial, and i can actually agree that some stuff on tiktok is actually good. maybe regarding games, pranks, info, science, you know stuff people actually care about. instead of the garbage dances.
I've never defended Twitch just like I've never defended Tik Tok. Both take no effort and you make money just sitting there doing nothing. At least on UA-cam you can find people doing something half decent with their time, bringing you entertainment in the process. You just have to sift through all the reaction channels.
Twitch has effort, you just need to stop staring at "Just chatting" to find them lol Speed runners are usually on there sooooo? I don't really understand your statement
Wdym? Your generalizing this FAR too much. If you watch tournaments.. tons of people take tons of time preparing bewteen each one. Also twitch literally takes more effort than youtube and a lot of people that have both admit it. Some people use twitch as a time to chill but a lot of people its not. For youtube most people just do all their work in a single day and are set for the entire week. And most of them have editors so the creators aren’t doing any work outside of making the video
@@Name-ru1kt That's okay. You can disagree with my opinion. It's just that. My opinion. I watch people who do both as well. The time it takes for video ideas, editing, planning, etc, usually makes people upload once a week. Versus you can stream every day just playing games or dancing in a pool. I understand there are outliers of very skilled people, it's like that on Tik Tok as well. It's just more common on UA-cam than Twitch. I'm not here to rant though, if you don't agree, you don't agree.
Agreed, and I’m from 2006. Tik tok, UA-cam shorts, etc. is extremely addictive and is detrimental to our attention spans. I fear that in the future some of gen z will be too incompetent to think for themselves. A lot of people do these goofy and dangerous trends and seem to not even put one thought into it

I'm 32 and dear god I've never seen a more accurate representation of myself in quite awhile honestly. Crazy how people want us to believe that TikTok is some great thing when it's just a copy of Vine but without the actually funny people and with way more of the cringe factor.
How could it be a copy of vine if vine only allowed 6 second clips?also there is a lot of funny people on tiktok,dancing is not the only thing on tiktok
You literally missed the entire point of the video which is how we're hypocrites when it comes to change
@@pirilon78 except millenial zach actually made a solid point about YT videos tending to actually take some amount of time/effort to produce. even the most low effort stuff takes time to edit. so....it wasn't *just* about hypocrisy. although there was some of that. but it wasn't the entirety of it.
now i don't agree with OP about tiktok *just* being a copy of vine. and really, im willing to bet that a lot of what went up on vine was garbage too. otherwise every vine compilation wouldn't just be a reordering of the same 30 vines. But to say that the point of the video was just about hypocrisy is...quite reductive

The main point about gaming channels (for me) was all of the jokes and funny events happening, not that much about the game itself, gaming is not something that everyone could dedicate time to, so gaming allowed people to have similar in some cases even more enjoyment without having to play the actual game
Exactly what I was gonna say. And tick tac has neither entertainment value nor engaging content! It's just the same thing over and over without even any substance to it! How can kids not get tired of it? I think the answer is simple. Because the videos are so short the brain goes "its just a couple of seconds, whatever" and since it's the brain of a child who doesn't understand how time works they get stuck in this perpetual loop of watching these clips over and OVER just cause they are short enough
@@kanrey5978 agree I have seen kids ruin their attention spans by constant scrolling, sometimes they find something that they like but it's just a vicious addictive cycle reminiscent of battle royals where you win only a few times per game.

@@muenstercheese You're right. You aren't disproving his point.
One of the first thing I remember about youtube was some video everyone talked about where some boy climbed something and was yelling loudly "I am hardcore!!!" ("jestem hardkorem", since it was Polish). It's not exactly better than dancing on camera. Now there is also good content on youtube, and I'd guess there is probably some good content on tiktok as well. I've even seen some in shorts.
When you're a user, you can find good content. If you're not, you only see some of the most popular stuff, but come on, most popular stuff on yt is never really good either. So it appears very opaque and generic.
@@tymondabrowski12 Very well put! On any popular platform there's going to be a pretty high dross to gold ratio? To me the 5 Min Crafts type channels of the YT world are equally as asinine & dangerous as the r*pe-culture-glorifying "killer date" crap recently cropping on TikTok. But then, there are a few genuinely creative posters like One Shot Quips (née One Shot Questers) who started on TikTok and transitioned to making awesome YT content?
Perhaps the format of TikTok exacerbates the proportion of crap, however? Given the posts are so short, it takes real skill to make them creative, clever or informative... and they're necessarily catering to an audience with a significantly shorter & shallower attention span too 🤦🏻♀️
That's true for everything. But generational differences can also apply to everything.
I can relate to this deeply in my soul but the explanation is simple: It's because Tiktok is primarily designed for children and teens. Exactly like ringtone rap and that stupid fucking "Crazy Frog" going "ring bading ding ding" over famous songs for when us millennials were children/teens. It's all about short, compact stuff you can show your friends during a 5 min break at school. Yes, good short form content does exist but that really isn't the primary purpose of it all.
It just makes people feel older than they are because a whole lot of marketing stuff is driven by kids and teens. You just didn't notice when you were a kid because you "discovered" it and it totally wasn't blasted into your face in TV ads, early online ads and huge internet forums that were the big social media platforms back then.

The only difference is that it used to go away after a few weeks/months, but thanks to TikTok, there's a constant stream of new, brainless bs 😒
I'm from the 90's, and I don't really get most of popular youtube or tiktok. I just sit in my niche little corners of the internet most of the time, but I know how weird those can be to outside observers (I have spent days of my life counting numbers with strangers online). I think I have always related with both sides of this supposed "generational" interaction. Though, I have never thought of it as being an age difference, but a difference of taste and experiences (basically just another classic nature+nurture thing).
Nobody understands what your saying
@@endergamer7505 I get the feeling that many of the people who watch Zach's other channel at least have some sense of what I'm talking about. Math communities aren't exactly vastly popular or experienced by everybody, and explaining to a random person that you enjoy learning about clever math proofs will often be met with a confused response. My original comment is talking about the same idea, but applied to the difference of general shared cultural experiences of those growing up at different times. So while we may share many experiences with our generational peers, our unique individual experiences and natural inclinations are still important factors in how we interact with the mediums of pop culture.
tl;dr: we're all individuals, regardless of shared experiences or interests.

YES. Tiktok "trends" are so mindnumbingly stupid it makes me lose faith for the future generations. Lets Players you have to actually be funny and creative and it actually takes effort to do. And Millennial Zach is right, even if the prank videos are fake they're still entertaining
Not necessarily be funny. Or creative. It's not a 1 or a 0.

@@poutineausyropderable7108 you’re right except for all these chess streamers that popped up recently. Because each generation knows more then the previous one and the game never changes so I’d argue it’s harder every year that goes by.

Plenty of examples of aholes with a lot of subs just because they’re filthy with the mouse flicks or whatever.

Hell, even a 6 second vine took more effort to make than a 15 to 20 second Tik Tok
The hard time-limit on Vine fostered a lot of creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. It forced creators to really plan and consider their content in order to fit everything they wanted within that 6 second period.
I am happy that this is an option for people. What happened to the intriguing and creative songs, and dances? They still exist, but they’re in the niche bands now.
I think people just have shorter attention span I don’t use Tiktok but I love watching UA-cam shorts sometimes so I kind of get how addicting it, especially those short skits that are quite entertaining.

It's easy to explain UA-cam to parents.
Basically everyone can start their own TV show and the popular ones get money from the commercials they run. Also, to understand how video game playthroughs are popular just think of it as football or baseball. Most of us know we'll never put in the time or effort to be as good as them but we watch to see the game played to it's full potential.
As for Gen Z to Millennial I don't know what's going on there. I think we just didn't give Gen Z enough attention growing up.

Yeah, Zach. That's why we are here
it's just a simple fact of the matter that in the age of the internet, effort does not perfectly equal success. when the main form of content was television and movies, you had to spend a *lot* of money, and the actors have to put a lot of work into their acting careers. That's what "boomers" associate with becoming famous from your content. To them, being able to become rich and famous off just sitting in your home, and recording videos is something completely unreal, and it's seems like so much less effort than what they're used to in terms of content that they can't wrap their head around it. Tiktok is just the next generation, "millenials" are used to youtube videos, that at the very least, you'll have to sit down for at least a an hour or two recording and editing, possibly much more depending on the length of the video. The idea that you can become famous with recording 1 minute clips with your phone is just as hard to wrap your head around as it was for the previous generation. It doesn't matter how many hours, minutes, or seconds it took to make the content. that's just how the internet works, and one of the few places that does work like that, so we just have to accept it.

I love your facial expressions and vocabulary. Great video!
I've never defended Twitch just like I've never defended Tik Tok. Both take no effort and you make money just sitting there doing nothing. At least on UA-cam you can find people doing something half decent with their time, bringing you entertainment in the process. You just have to sift through all the reaction channels.
Twitch has effort, you just need to stop staring at "Just chatting" to find them lol Speed runners are usually on there sooooo? I don't really understand your statement
Wdym? Your generalizing this FAR too much. If you watch tournaments.. tons of people take tons of time preparing bewteen each one. Also twitch literally takes more effort than youtube and a lot of people that have both admit it.
Some people use twitch as a time to chill but a lot of people its not.
For youtube most people just do all their work in a single day and are set for the entire week. And most of them have editors so the creators aren’t doing any work outside of making the video
Twitch depends who the streamer is and some of the big ones I can agree. But a lot of them aren’t
Though some youtubers take a lot of time and effort into especially ones that don’t have editors and are mod reviewers.
@@Name-ru1kt That's okay. You can disagree with my opinion. It's just that. My opinion. I watch people who do both as well. The time it takes for video ideas, editing, planning, etc, usually makes people upload once a week. Versus you can stream every day just playing games or dancing in a pool. I understand there are outliers of very skilled people, it's like that on Tik Tok as well. It's just more common on UA-cam than Twitch. I'm not here to rant though, if you don't agree, you don't agree.
“I think you”re in denial”
*“I am in acceptal”*
Even though I'm born in 2002, I fully agree with the millenial. Tiktok destroyed this generation imo.
That's not even an opinion, just a fact
You do know the video is making fun of millenials,right?
I’d be offended about being grouped in with the TikTok kids, but because they’re the loudest and most annoying it’s tough to avoid
Agreed, and I’m from 2006. Tik tok, UA-cam shorts, etc. is extremely addictive and is detrimental to our attention spans. I fear that in the future some of gen z will be too incompetent to think for themselves. A lot of people do these goofy and dangerous trends and seem to not even put one thought into it
I was half expecting the Boomer to come back at the end and be the TikToker.
