I agree 👍 💯 but one noteable thing is what we remember from the 2 eras. From old youtube we have the "cinnamin challenge" as the most popular challenge. From tik tok? Tide pods, toilet seat, the milk crate challenge
Tik Tok has ruined creativity as a whole, When someone makes something creative, it could be music, streaming, editing.. etc. They would just make it worse by commenting their Brainrottening comments as well as make trends that'll make it 10x worse. I'm glad you've finally addressed this.
As an editor I think this is pretty rude to say. I built my entire community there. Like, if you didn’t find your thing that’s okay but we are still creative there.
@@Himdoriyas I am not saying about like everybody in there. I'm talking about people that make something good to something Brainrottening, such as Mewing for example.
@@whelmz It’s just generally odd to me that this is all people focus on about the app and not the fact that people ride its coattails to get popular on a whole other platform. Every app has a stupid thing going on with it. But creative people exist on the app.
@@Himdoriyas That's what I meant by 'I'm not saying everybody in that app' meaning that tiktok could be good for creativity but most of the time Brainrottening.

I think vine started it, it was fun and the start of short formed stuff so it wasn’t an issue until it became the forefront of content when TikTok replaced it. This is what the companies want us to do become addicted to where viewing their app feels like a necessity
I don’t mean to be “that guy” but dang verified channel and only one like lol, I do agree with what you said though. Vine wasn’t as bad as how it is now and I doubt anybody would disagree
Is it just me or do some people still not understand the point of ytp? Say you've memorized a king of the hill episode, someone edits that with the whole joke being "you expected hank to say/do x but y happened" + inside jokes/meme references. I remember being in high school thinking the adults who liked Monty Python but didn't laugh at "mama luigi leaves the stove on" were comically more illogical as the poops themselves. Don't be comparing *satire/spoof of actual content- spoofed through video editing software, sometimes drawing from elements of surrealism* with mlg trash or adhd made gibberish. It used to be that people who understood ytp were either super nerdy or smoking weird stuff, but the same can't really be said about the other things.
i really don't think that this generation is screwed. it's just that we're experiencing problems specific to our generation, and this time it involves something that doesn't immediately threaten our safety. but the thing is that humanity has consistently come together to fix itself in its darkest days and always come back a little stronger. this may seem overly optimistic (and i will admit that there are times where the world could've litearlly ended) but just compare the state of the world like 100 years ago to now. it's not perfect but it's a lot better, and it's really a blessing that one of the the biggest problems (at least in america) in our generation is that we spend too much time on tic tac. the montreal protocol is a perfect example of how everyone came together to fix the ozone layer so the sun doesn't burn us or something, and if we can do that, then we can, and will, stop this social media from rotting our brains out
I see where you're coming from, but just in general this gen is cooked. It always was bad, but back in the early 2000's to 2019? Those years were prob the peak of our gen.
I find myself just like you in the middle. yeah tic tac's a...pretty terrible app and other features like it but we're still alive for like 5 years with this shitty app and people act like its another meteor. stop complaining and do something with your life for once 🙄I bet even if tick tock is gone these guys are gonna go flock to another problem like it.
I’m one of those people that still doesn’t have tiktok,instagram, and all the other stuff. So I’ll say this it’s genuinely weird seeing people in the real world now since you can see the brain rot in real time. Whenever I see someone look on their phone they’re genuinely drooling over a tiktok. It’s concerning because my family have all the apps and I can see their attention span dropping in real time.
I don’t even use the app but yeah TikTok is brain rot. Like dead ass I was bored looking at a video and I lost it when dummies were asking questions about it besides using google. I was done from then on lol.
@@natahndolar2142 I think it’s just because people are lazy honestly. If a UA-cam comment sounds correct and intellectual then they just believe it and don’t see if it’s true. I usually do the same thing honestly, but only because it’s not something I really care about it. If the topic is something I’m personally interested in, I do more research about it.
I'm a member of Gen-Z, and I hate this narrative that every single person in Gen-Z is brainrot. There's so many smart kids out here that get 0 love while you guys play the mass hysteria card and act like the world is gonna end. I respect you, and I respect what you are saying because it really is a problem, most kids have 0 attention span nowadays. But that doesn't humanity is doomed. I kinda feel like no matter how hard I try I'm always gonna be looked down at because of something completely out of my control. P.S whoever made up the name Gen-Alpha needs to be locked in Arkham Asylum.
About that part of getting rid of the name Gen-"Alpha", that sounds interesting, even though it's part of the ongoing Greek alphabet. What kind of name do you think we should call these new youngsters, anyway? What's a more creative name for this generation?
I remember somebody telling me what I watch for short form content and I said I don’t use any and he’s like “what do you watch for entertainment then?!” I always listen to podcasts or watch UA-cam lol
It's not just this but yes generations are becoming more and more lame and i can include myself in that even tho im not gen alpha we have been in a downward spiral for a while it's just that things are exponentially declining so it looks more and more drastic the longer it falls. Idk how my potential future kids are gonna survive in this mess we've created as a society
@@jacobb8832ain’t nobody care abt the Greek alphabet jit, call it whatever generation you want, doenst mean anything tbh. You either improve or you don’t that’s the only generational thing
I'm a part of gen z but even I think that most of this stuff is brain rot. There are people at my school who say "erm, what the sigma?" and it makes me pissed off. I'm seriously scared of how much brain rot is consumed by children. Almost every gen z sayings like skibidi, ohio, and fanum tax are all things I hate.
Hi Siah! I’ve been watching your content for a while now and I’m happy you brought this up. As a streamer of 9 years, I have always refused to upload stream content to TikTok or even download the app at all for this reason exactly. So many people I know spend time mindlessly scrolling to get those short dopamine rushes, and it’s frustrating to see people rot their brains both as a streamer and a friend. I’m glad someone else feels the same way, thanks for speaking out about it!
Same as people who use tik tok putting down people who watch UA-cam or yt shorts, because they prefer tik tok that they are so biased that they can't stand it when someone uses a different platform
I understand your pain Siah, I hate it when I put effort into my vids and then someone else with poor editing and quality get thousands. For small creators like myself I’m gonna have to stick to YT shorts and tik tok if I want to gain a fan base.
I knowwwwww, you do not how annoying it is to have something I put effort into not get much attention but something I don’t put as much into get 10x the attention. Especially if it’s other people or people just flat out stealing
I’m not joking, when I saw TikTok being announced, I had a feeling I’m not gonna use it, because i thought it was made for kids, I do use instagram and UA-cam but I get dopamine from my hobbies and work effectively, thank god I didn’t touch TikTok.
i thank god for he is the one who gave me power and made me stop scrolling on shorts (tiktok on the other hand,i actually had the app installed yet didnt bother so i just deleted it,i didnt let it become an addiction thankfully) I feel better than i did back when i would scroll for hours
Man I followed your twitch directly as soon as I saw your videos, and of course I did expect a whole ass parody stream like you act as fictional characters in your videos, I also wanted to know how you just genuinely are as a person. And you seem like an extremely chill guy with an incredible sense of humor not everyone understands, many do, I doc some people don‘t and thats okay. You are very entertaining in streams and sometimes love to watch them while getting shit done. I wish you the best of luck man, I totally get your frustration. I am social media free since half a year now and my life could not be better. I even questioned myself how this video can not be longer, since my attention span has just increased that much by getting rid of those junk ass apps. This brain rot finally has to stop, I feel like it is influencing people in every aspect of their life, because giving attention to something quite literally the same as focusing on something.
Currently i'm a freshman in highschool with only three friends I trust. This is mostly due to the people I interact have low attention spans and mostly stay on their phones all day.
When you mentioned "you might as well go to twitch but no" they rather follow on tiktok. I'm really stubborn and I stay on youtube. And I don't like streams lmao but I like these genuine videos. I'll watch all these videos your skitt on brain rot was scary and real you have my subscription
yea honestly i can agree with you on this, I had to take a break of twitch cause everything was breaking and I've uploaded a few clips to tik tok myself and saw they were popping with 800+ views (some of em) and no one came to the streams even tho I had my name in the video, it doesn't make any sense anymore, and people says its easy, not anymore.... i wish things weren't like the way they are now but its the internet and times are changing at a rapid pace, basically what siah said we're cooked
It's important to not be all doomer about this shit though! For example, many kids who are not yet fully matured will most likely recover their attention span as they age. I guarantee that a lot of people in this comment section and in general people who are like 18-24 right now had similiar addictions in their teenage years, when the internet really got big. Sure, we and Gen Alpha are suffering long-term consequences from our extremely high exposure to the internet at an early age, but look at us now. You reading this means you are atleast aware of the problem because you can retrospectively recognize your media consumption as an issue. And I have no doubt in my mind that if we keep pointing to this problem of inattention, misinformation, social media dogma and in general "brainrot", we as a society WILL help these young kids be more mature, more active, mentally healthier and in general happier.
Bro. It's a skit it is not meant to take seriously. I would rather watch those than watching cringe ass alpha super mega sigma andrew tate male videos 💀
I rarely comment on ppl’s stuff on the recommendations tab but this has to be the realest thing that anyone has spoken. The real problem is that this generation’s attention span is a goldfish and they’re only interested in short form content (and yes, I sound stupid because I was born with it)
Just caught wind of this video and as a content creator who spreads my own content across multiple platform, I definitely resonate with your frustration.
Imma be dead ass with you. The reason people only watch clips, and I do both. They don't want to wait to see something entertaining. Like caseoh, he looks at his chat a whole bunch before like maybe 30 mins later he plays a game or reacts to memes.
GET THIS FUCKING MAN A GOD DAMN CROWN (I don't use tictok or yt shorts but I love your funny little videos and your kick streams (your also the reason I have kick) but you make a good point that people are getting the attention span of a goldfish when some people can sit and watch shit for hour and hours on end I'm not high on funds but I'd support you with cash if I had some more but I will always support you siah)
aye i feel you bro thats why i dont stream as much anymore or post on tiktok im just trying to grow my channel here on youtube IK for a fact my reactions be great but posting it other places gets absolutely no turnout
It's amazing that I use to scroll on TikTok for hours but then got of it one day, moved on to UA-cam and never touch TikTok again. If only more people took long breaks from TikTok.
Bro... you speak literal facts, youre the reason i watch yt tbh like... i have no words for this, all facts there were no flaws whatsoever with your statements, youre truly profound. Ima follow your twitch right away
It's weird sometimes seeing people of my generation and even my acquaintances in school just vomit out the shit they absorb from their short-form brains. It's sad, but I don't think their is truly a way to stop it. It's been introduced, and it won't ever go away because the people that it has got hooked will need their hit of 10 second videos somehow; if TikTok goes away a new version will pop up. I just hope that Gen Z and up will grow out of their shit and learn actual skills. BTW your channels are goated
It's so much easier to take control of people who can't think for themselves. Take from that what you will. I just hope people might explore this concept more in terms of history and forms of government other than Democracy. Use North Korea for a good Modern example of what life can be like when the people lose the power. 😢 And if you have a platform try to share information ❤
@@ThatRealSlythere’s actually lots of useful vids on tiktok, there’s specific niches they could possibly be interested in, music, education in certain things, it’s sad to see both sides of this argument on “tiktok brain rot” has individuals that’s only thinking on surface level, use your brain.
@@z3v..start watching EVERY video to its entirety. Watch the full video of every tiktok you scroll too, no skips. And you’ll see how entertaining every video is. Don’t scroll past it when you get bored, sit in the boredom. And then you’ll start to realize something 👍
Personally I don’t like watching streams, to me watching clips is sorta like watching sports highlights. Just because I see some cool Steph curry highlights doesn’t mean ima watch the next warriors game, I’ll probably keep coming back for more highlights though since those are the best moments of his games right… you see what I’m saying
oh dang we're only two videos in and i already see some controversy in the comments (this is a message to some of the commenters) let's try to have this stay a safe place to voice our opinions, yeah? the one thing that's going to ruin that is by mindlessly throwing insults around because shameless insult-throwing is not going to benefit anything arguing and rants are fine but you have to know when it goes too far and when the only person you're benefiting is yourself because you think that's the right way to get your point across to people
content creation has been like this for years Siah, I see a lot of content creators blow up on social media platforms that they "just dont want to blow up on" and every time they try to transition over, they get a rude awakening, If i got 700k tiktok followers, and good analytics, f*ck all the other stuff, get that tiktok bag
TikTok made everyone stupid. I remember when I got made fun of for watching TikTok. Now everyone is watching TikTok and I am back to watching long form stuff because now I’ve realised how fucking stupid TikTok makes you. It’s worse than ever right now and please for the love of god if you are reading this quit TikTok.
Siah I swear to god I made a video about this 5 months ago and thought I was the only one who seen this issue, I've been grinding since I was 13 doing videos and never understood the algorithm. I constantly do reaction videos and get no views unless I view them myself so Tiktok was the only key platform I saw as a gate to lead people to my channel. Over the past two years, I've told my viewers on tiktok countless times to follow my channel if they wan to see more, and all they'd do is like the video and swipe. Shit makes no sense, UA-cam and content is my dream and It'll always be on hault due to this generations attention span. But im glad I could find someone with the same view of this void as me. You got ppl out here shaking ass and getting 3k live viewers Or ppl doing simple boring shit and getting 2k-5k viewers But then you look at those that have talent and personality (Could be the next Markiplier or Coryxkenshin) and they get shat on by viewers attention span. I had to pay my way to 5k followers on that shitty app and still struggle to even get 1k on youtube....
I think it's a combination of a lot of stuff coming together, social media the way it's used nowadays, internet and culture too. People are actually disinclined to partake in longer formed content, even when it still does well, because compared to short form content it's easier for everybody and gives the fulfillment of finishing a video, and this generation is being raised to prefer a summary over the story and moving on. It's ironic, it makes you feel like you're saving time, which makes you more likely to keep scrolling. It isn't just social media, it's how everything is going. Everybody wants to remake the mona lisa nowadays but instead of learning to make art they just wanna read an AI summarize how to be an artist, and when they fail, they'll just eventually we will get to the point of utter brain rot farmed by our own tech lol. Tiktok and shit also give the platform fomo in the way the it is designed same with yt shorts, they take advantage of how phones are designed and it's not coincidence phones were made to have larger screens and no keyboards, engagement is far more important than practicality, in order to keep the scrolling from ever ruining immersion is the key. It's not like opening a new tab and going onto a forum even, it's like being handed a montage of everything you think you want. Then not doing or going to that thing. In conclusion as I could go on and on, it's created a very loner producing society giving us echo chambers and dopamine highs for our specific tastes all funneled into the easiest stream of content/ads that preys on people most prone to things like fomo, attention issues and now raising the younger generation to be the permanent target audience lol. I'll actually go further on to say, I do not see long winded streamers doing well in the future. That is sitting and doing a thing for many hours all day live even if competitive streamers. It just isn't gonna work unless you're already at the level of never needing to work again. People would rather tune into a highlight of a podcast than the whole podcast, and I think streaming in the future will consist of people doing 2-3 hour streams depending on content and making videos. I think if I was smart I would release episodic content, including with streaming, on a less frequent basis but hits hard each time. Again unless I wasn't doing it to grow or make money, and just for fun of course.
Good read lol and I couldn’t agree more. Idk if my generation wad like this as kid (I’m assuming so) but I don’t think it was ever THIS bad. Going off the summary thing and how they only want the AI easy spark notes version, is that it’s translated to how they speak and act and move. They don’t even wanna put the work in when speaking to someone or reading a book. The word delulu just pisses me off beyond belief. It’s such a weird thought process and is “if you can get a book summary in 60 seconds then why ever read a book?”
The Mona Lisa example is golden and this was a good read. I just don’t like how they want a summary of everything now. Even when they speak and act and engaging in stuff, they only want the spark notes summary. Das fine and all but they don’t ever apply any of that content. The weirdest ones are the history ones that explain random people from history from some AI generated look alike that just AI voice retells their Wikipedia page.
@@The-Legend-of-P Appreciate you read my thoughts, thanks for sharing yours as well, and yeah it's the lack of application I think worries with advancing tech that is gonna make us less likely to ever care or frankly need to have certain skills that we take for granted, along with the utter bloat of information in this day and age. While we all love having this huge amount of information at our fingertips, the other side effect is information overload, misinformation and a decrease in information literacy. I also don't think it's just a generational thing, if my generation grew up during this shit we'd end up down the same routes. Plus I've seen boomers at work try to use a computer they'd be cooked too lmao. I was just lucky enough to be a teen right before internet took off like this. For me the internet was a secluded place, as a kid I spent 98% of my free time wandering in the woods, hanging by the river, looking for random shit to do with my posse of bros lmao, building tree houses, digging caves, random ass stuff outside and just doing activities that would require interactions with other kids, adults, people constantly. - Even when we gamed, it wasn't online, so all your buds came over to play mario party or super smash whatever it was on the nintendo. So I don't intend to shame the younger generation, if anything I actually feel for em not gonna lie but it's kind of well I don't wanna be dramatic, it's very cyberpunk-y seeing little kids with phones in their hands for hours upon hours. Growing up living vicariously through other people, growing up like that has to make you lose grounding. But I get it, it's a lot easier to watch a content creator play a video game than ever playing it yourself. See I would just buy a guide as a kid, they skip that step and just watch the whole game. That said, I'm also old enough to get why you would give a kid an ipad to keep your kid busy, hopefully doing a game on there at least to get them engaged or thinking. All in all tech is a great thing and advances us, the side effect being this false notion of virtual distance. Why go to your buddies house when you all just connect online? Why watch tv with the family, when we all have our own favorite shows we can watch privately by ourselves? This is why still to this day, I get together with the homies, partners and we watch a show we all vote on. Sitting down together with people and all experiencing something, anything, it can be a show, movie, or just an experience in general in real time is what grounds us. It's like how a movie theater experience just fills the atmosphere and gives this mood, everybody all sharing the same experience together.
@@Luzlec are you a millennial? Cause your childhood sounds like my uncles or dad (dads 50 and uncles 30 sum) and they grew up with n64 Og xbox, etc. even my brother who’s 24 now had friends over on Friday’s after school, they walked back from middle school and played games until nighttime. Wasn’t online like I have now where it’s across states/oversea friends, but actually sitting down playing 8 player smash on the Wii or something. I’m kinda worried what’s gonna happen next cause I clearly remember a kid in my highschool spending all day and all of class and lunch on his iPad on discord. Just texting his friends in a discord chat while in school. And that was 8 years ago so I only imagine how it is now with every kid having a computer and iPad since birth. To further your point cause I really like what you said at the end. Technology is supposed to bring us together. It’s what social media has done. There’s going to be negatives from everything and weirdos in everything, but that doesn’t mean the positive effects aren’t there. It does seem a lil cyberpunk-y and some other dystopian book I read but blanking on the name, but the bad doesn’t undermine the good it does. The bad is just all we’re seeing because the media and social media only shows the bad. Never the good. Ik in schools they have restrictions on apps, and search engines like safari to stop kids from playing games or looking at porn on school tablets. Granted they have there own phones and safari’s but the stuffs somewhat in place Social media is just the place to get together now. Instead of going to the woods for you or walk into town, they have there phones. And If I’m a parent today you know 100% I’m giving my kid an iPad to give ME some freedom and alone time. But I don’t think parents really know how to parent anymore. The iPad is such a crutch that they just use it whenever. Another uncle of mine has an 11 year old son and he’s just on games all the time now. Maybe my uncle should watch tv with him. Or offer to actually spend time with the kid doing something on the internet or together so you’re still engaging with them and being “together” like you said.

i really don't think that this generation is screwed. it's just that we're experiencing problems specific to our generation, and this time it involves something that doesn't immediately threaten our safety. but the thing is that humanity has consistently come together to fix itself in its darkest days and always come back a little stronger. this may seem overly optimistic (and i will admit that there are times where the world could've litearlly ended) but just compare the state of the world like 100 years ago to now. it's not perfect but it's a lot better, and it's really a blessing that one of the the biggest problems (at least in america) in our generation is that we spend too much time on tic tac. the montreal protocol is a perfect example of how everyone came together to fix the ozone layer so the sun doesn't burn us or something, and if we can do that, then we can, and will, stop this social media from rotting our brains out
they should still ban tic tac tho dont get it twisted
I see where you're coming from, but just in general this gen is cooked. It always was bad, but back in the early 2000's to 2019? Those years were prob the peak of our gen.
@@wheredahellami02711i feel like thats less of a problem with gen A and more of the huge dent COVID 19 left in their skull
I find myself just like you in the middle. yeah tic tac's a...pretty terrible app and other features like it but we're still alive for like 5 years with this shitty app and people act like its another meteor. stop complaining and do something with your life for once 🙄I bet even if tick tock is gone these guys are gonna go flock to another problem like it.
@@wheredahellami02711 I agree bro!!!!!
These are the things i think about to. they just want an instant gratification, and tiktok gives you that somethimes
Nah always
@@natahndolar2142 yeah always
I’m one of those people that still doesn’t have tiktok,instagram, and all the other stuff.
So I’ll say this it’s genuinely weird seeing people in the real world now since you can see the brain rot in real time. Whenever I see someone look on their phone they’re genuinely drooling over a tiktok. It’s concerning because my family have all the apps and I can see their attention span dropping in real time.
That probably feels weird and strange
I don’t even use the app but yeah TikTok is brain rot. Like dead ass I was bored looking at a video and I lost it when dummies were asking questions about it besides using google. I was done from then on lol.
Tbf a lot of people do that. Very few people actually do research.
@@Im2lazy4thisCritdo they just not teach people to do research anymore or are they just that young?
@@natahndolar2142 I think it’s just because people are lazy honestly. If a UA-cam comment sounds correct and intellectual then they just believe it and don’t see if it’s true. I usually do the same thing honestly, but only because it’s not something I really care about it. If the topic is something I’m personally interested in, I do more research about it.
I'm a member of Gen-Z, and I hate this narrative that every single person in Gen-Z is brainrot. There's so many smart kids out here that get 0 love while you guys play the mass hysteria card and act like the world is gonna end. I respect you, and I respect what you are saying because it really is a problem, most kids have 0 attention span nowadays. But that doesn't humanity is doomed. I kinda feel like no matter how hard I try I'm always gonna be looked down at because of something completely out of my control. P.S whoever made up the name Gen-Alpha needs to be locked in Arkham Asylum.
Hahahaha 🤣 😂 😂
About that part of getting rid of the name Gen-"Alpha", that sounds interesting, even though it's part of the ongoing Greek alphabet.
What kind of name do you think we should call these new youngsters, anyway? What's a more creative name for this generation?
I remember somebody telling me what I watch for short form content and I said I don’t use any and he’s like “what do you watch for entertainment then?!” I always listen to podcasts or watch UA-cam lol
It's not just this but yes generations are becoming more and more lame and i can include myself in that even tho im not gen alpha we have been in a downward spiral for a while it's just that things are exponentially declining so it looks more and more drastic the longer it falls. Idk how my potential future kids are gonna survive in this mess we've created as a society
@@jacobb8832ain’t nobody care abt the Greek alphabet jit, call it whatever generation you want, doenst mean anything tbh. You either improve or you don’t that’s the only generational thing
I'm a part of gen z but even I think that most of this stuff is brain rot. There are people at my school who say "erm, what the sigma?" and it makes me pissed off. I'm seriously scared of how much brain rot is consumed by children. Almost every gen z sayings like skibidi, ohio, and fanum tax are all things I hate.
Hi Siah! I’ve been watching your content for a while now and I’m happy you brought this up. As a streamer of 9 years, I have always refused to upload stream content to TikTok or even download the app at all for this reason exactly. So many people I know spend time mindlessly scrolling to get those short dopamine rushes, and it’s frustrating to see people rot their brains both as a streamer and a friend. I’m glad someone else feels the same way, thanks for speaking out about it!
Same as people who use tik tok putting down people who watch UA-cam or yt shorts, because they prefer tik tok that they are so biased that they can't stand it when someone uses a different platform
That is what UA-cam shorts users and tiktok users do so how can you say only about one
@@670ah meant it as a example
I understand your pain Siah, I hate it when I put effort into my vids and then someone else with poor editing and quality get thousands. For small creators like myself I’m gonna have to stick to YT shorts and tik tok if I want to gain a fan base.
And we live in a world full of technology and we’re evolving too much and now we have short attention spans and are getting dumber.
People am I right?
I knowwwwww, you do not how annoying it is to have something I put effort into not get much attention but something I don’t put as much into get 10x the attention. Especially if it’s other people or people just flat out stealing
I’m not joking, when I saw TikTok being announced, I had a feeling I’m not gonna use it, because i thought it was made for kids, I do use instagram and UA-cam but I get dopamine from my hobbies and work effectively, thank god I didn’t touch TikTok.
Please upload more of these
facts I’m glad he’s posting more long form content on youtube (don’t have twitch or kick lol)
I wish more people could understand this, not just this but it’s a long list to name.
Thanks Siah🙃
im in gen z and i have like no faith in the next generation and some of the ppl in my generation
Oh my god thank you
Finally someone with a platform is saying it, much love to you man
And they thought I was weird for refusing to adopt TikTok when it first came out
This generation not only cooked is cooked fried grilled roasted and burned
Jumped in fear from that intro.😅
I love the points that were made here. 👏
As a music artist ik exactly how you feel
i love these yap sessions
I love that you are starting to do videos like this ❤
bro saying all this like those spongebob videos weren't rotting people's brain faster than anything else at the time
dude keep uploading those vids, they are soo enjoyable.
i thank god for he is the one who gave me power and made me stop scrolling on shorts (tiktok on the other hand,i actually had the app installed yet didnt bother so i just deleted it,i didnt let it become an addiction thankfully)
I feel better than i did back when i would scroll for hours
Man I followed your twitch directly as soon as I saw your videos, and of course I did expect a whole ass parody stream like you act as fictional characters in your videos, I also wanted to know how you just genuinely are as a person. And you seem like an extremely chill guy with an incredible sense of humor not everyone understands, many do, I doc some people don‘t and thats okay. You are very entertaining in streams and sometimes love to watch them while getting shit done. I wish you the best of luck man, I totally get your frustration. I am social media free since half a year now and my life could not be better. I even questioned myself how this video can not be longer, since my attention span has just increased that much by getting rid of those junk ass apps. This brain rot finally has to stop, I feel like it is influencing people in every aspect of their life, because giving attention to something quite literally the same as focusing on something.
Currently i'm a freshman in highschool with only three friends I trust. This is mostly due to the people I interact have low attention spans and mostly stay on their phones all day.
I like the raw emotion in these diary entries
I don't use tiktok, but I really like this content siah, more people rlly do need to learn how brainrot tiktok really is.
he always speaks fax
You rly earned my sub with that "i just wanna watch funny clips on tiktok-pls keep your INSIGNIFICANT input to yourself" line
When you mentioned "you might as well go to twitch but no" they rather follow on tiktok. I'm really stubborn and I stay on youtube. And I don't like streams lmao but I like these genuine videos. I'll watch all these videos your skitt on brain rot was scary and real you have my subscription
Intellectuality has been demonized.
yea honestly i can agree with you on this, I had to take a break of twitch cause everything was breaking and I've uploaded a few clips to tik tok myself and saw they were popping with 800+ views (some of em) and no one came to the streams even tho I had my name in the video, it doesn't make any sense anymore, and people says its easy, not anymore....
i wish things weren't like the way they are now but its the internet and times are changing at a rapid pace,
basically what siah said we're cooked
It's important to not be all doomer about this shit though! For example, many kids who are not yet fully matured will most likely recover their attention span as they age. I guarantee that a lot of people in this comment section and in general people who are like 18-24 right now had similiar addictions in their teenage years, when the internet really got big. Sure, we and Gen Alpha are suffering long-term consequences from our extremely high exposure to the internet at an early age, but look at us now. You reading this means you are atleast aware of the problem because you can retrospectively recognize your media consumption as an issue. And I have no doubt in my mind that if we keep pointing to this problem of inattention, misinformation, social media dogma and in general "brainrot", we as a society WILL help these young kids be more mature, more active, mentally healthier and in general happier.
This channel is the definition of "Let em cook".
Saw the title n was like u speaking my language🤣🤣
“This generation is cooked” you literally made a video called “when you’re bricked up at a parent teacher conference”
Fr I was bouta say he be makin the brain rot shit unironically
Hes not talking about the brainrot humor hes talking about the dopamine that peaple are enslaved by
tell me you took the point all the way fucked up without telling me you did
How is a comedic premise at all comparable to doom scrolling tiktok?
Bro. It's a skit it is not meant to take seriously. I would rather watch those than watching cringe ass alpha super mega sigma andrew tate male videos 💀
I rarely comment on ppl’s stuff on the recommendations tab but this has to be the realest thing that anyone has spoken. The real problem is that this generation’s attention span is a goldfish and they’re only interested in short form content
(and yes, I sound stupid because I was born with it)
Just caught wind of this video and as a content creator who spreads my own content across multiple platform, I definitely resonate with your frustration.
Imma be dead ass with you. The reason people only watch clips, and I do both. They don't want to wait to see something entertaining. Like caseoh, he looks at his chat a whole bunch before like maybe 30 mins later he plays a game or reacts to memes.
Yeah I agree bro when my cousin comes over or I go to his house for a family party, he’s just scrolling on TikTok and he looks so bored while doing it
like man lmao that’s why i deleted it havent really used tiktok for the past 3 years or so
GET THIS FUCKING MAN A GOD DAMN CROWN (I don't use tictok or yt shorts but I love your funny little videos and your kick streams (your also the reason I have kick) but you make a good point that people are getting the attention span of a goldfish when some people can sit and watch shit for hour and hours on end I'm not high on funds but I'd support you with cash if I had some more but I will always support you siah)
aye i feel you bro thats why i dont stream as much anymore or post on tiktok im just trying to grow my channel here on youtube IK for a fact my reactions be great but posting it other places gets absolutely no turnout
Yoo is kick on iphone only cause I'ma start following Siah cos he's the realest
Yeah that'd why iam cutting tiktok and shorts, reels or whatever from my daily life
It's amazing that I use to scroll on TikTok for hours but then got of it one day, moved on to UA-cam and never touch TikTok again. If only more people took long breaks from TikTok.
From sussy skits to real talk!! Im luving thius
Please release the full first take on that bruh, I wanna hear it 😭
Fr bruh
From siah the clown to siah the profound??? I dig 👊🏾
when i was on it , it would DEPRESS me even more. i’m glad i got rid of it ngl
I'd downloaded kick js to watch you bc your funny as hell 😭🙏🏾
Bro... you speak literal facts, youre the reason i watch yt tbh like... i have no words for this, all facts there were no flaws whatsoever with your statements, youre truly profound. Ima follow your twitch right away
The BRAIN ROT i been thinking about this brother 😭
It's weird sometimes seeing people of my generation and even my acquaintances in school just vomit out the shit they absorb from their short-form brains. It's sad, but I don't think their is truly a way to stop it. It's been introduced, and it won't ever go away because the people that it has got hooked will need their hit of 10 second videos somehow; if TikTok goes away a new version will pop up. I just hope that Gen Z and up will grow out of their shit and learn actual skills. BTW your channels are goated
Yee I’m sorry to notice that too. It’s pretty sad tho but wish the best of luck
It's so much easier to take control of people who can't think for themselves.
Take from that what you will.
I just hope people might explore this concept more in terms of history and forms of government other than Democracy.
Use North Korea for a good Modern example of what life can be like when the people lose the power. 😢
And if you have a platform try to share information ❤

i do the same but its only cuz i rarely find something on tiktok funny
@@z3v..Hear me out then......why are you on it
@@ThatRealSlythere’s actually lots of useful vids on tiktok, there’s specific niches they could possibly be interested in, music, education in certain things, it’s sad to see both sides of this argument on “tiktok brain rot” has individuals that’s only thinking on surface level, use your brain.
@@z3v..start watching EVERY video to its entirety. Watch the full video of every tiktok you scroll too, no skips. And you’ll see how entertaining every video is. Don’t scroll past it when you get bored, sit in the boredom. And then you’ll start to realize something 👍
i’m sure everyone who has access to social medias had this happened to them at -at best once, it’s not rare…
Personally I don’t like watching streams, to me watching clips is sorta like watching sports highlights. Just because I see some cool Steph curry highlights doesn’t mean ima watch the next warriors game, I’ll probably keep coming back for more highlights though since those are the best moments of his games right… you see what I’m saying
I need more of serious Siah

@@SiahSpeaks on an alt
content creation has been like this for years Siah, I see a lot of content creators blow up on social media platforms that they "just dont want to blow up on" and every time they try to transition over, they get a rude awakening, If i got 700k tiktok followers, and good analytics, f*ck all the other stuff, get that tiktok bag
You’re speaking the mind of everybody above 20
You speaking facts bro
Siah is the yapper the word needs 🗣️🔥🔥
TikTok made everyone stupid. I remember when I got made fun of for watching TikTok. Now everyone is watching TikTok and I am back to watching long form stuff because now I’ve realised how fucking stupid TikTok makes you. It’s worse than ever right now and please for the love of god if you are reading this quit TikTok.
Siah I swear to god I made a video about this 5 months ago and thought I was the only one who seen this issue, I've been grinding since I was 13 doing videos and never understood the algorithm. I constantly do reaction videos and get no views unless I view them myself so Tiktok was the only key platform I saw as a gate to lead people to my channel. Over the past two years, I've told my viewers on tiktok countless times to follow my channel if they wan to see more, and all they'd do is like the video and swipe. Shit makes no sense, UA-cam and content is my dream and It'll always be on hault due to this generations attention span. But im glad I could find someone with the same view of this void as me.
You got ppl out here shaking ass and getting 3k live viewers
Or ppl doing simple boring shit and getting 2k-5k viewers
But then you look at those that have talent and personality (Could be the next Markiplier or Coryxkenshin) and they get shat on by viewers attention span.
I had to pay my way to 5k followers on that shitty app and still struggle to even get 1k on youtube....
Siah the voice of the people rn
6:44 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂got me
People and their attention spans I swear
siah lets it crust so he is the brainrot king
I uninstalled tiktok and i feel like ive watched my friends around me devolve into children like your spot on
I think it's a combination of a lot of stuff coming together, social media the way it's used nowadays, internet and culture too.
People are actually disinclined to partake in longer formed content, even when it still does well, because compared to short form content it's easier for everybody and gives the fulfillment of finishing a video, and this generation is being raised to prefer a summary over the story and moving on. It's ironic, it makes you feel like you're saving time, which makes you more likely to keep scrolling.
It isn't just social media, it's how everything is going. Everybody wants to remake the mona lisa nowadays but instead of learning to make art they just wanna read an AI summarize how to be an artist, and when they fail, they'll just eventually we will get to the point of utter brain rot farmed by our own tech lol. Tiktok and shit also give the platform fomo in the way the it is designed same with yt shorts, they take advantage of how phones are designed and it's not coincidence phones were made to have larger screens and no keyboards, engagement is far more important than practicality, in order to keep the scrolling from ever ruining immersion is the key. It's not like opening a new tab and going onto a forum even, it's like being handed a montage of everything you think you want. Then not doing or going to that thing.
In conclusion as I could go on and on, it's created a very loner producing society giving us echo chambers and dopamine highs for our specific tastes all funneled into the easiest stream of content/ads that preys on people most prone to things like fomo, attention issues and now raising the younger generation to be the permanent target audience lol.
I'll actually go further on to say, I do not see long winded streamers doing well in the future. That is sitting and doing a thing for many hours all day live even if competitive streamers. It just isn't gonna work unless you're already at the level of never needing to work again. People would rather tune into a highlight of a podcast than the whole podcast, and I think streaming in the future will consist of people doing 2-3 hour streams depending on content and making videos. I think if I was smart I would release episodic content, including with streaming, on a less frequent basis but hits hard each time. Again unless I wasn't doing it to grow or make money, and just for fun of course.
Good read lol and I couldn’t agree more. Idk if my generation wad like this as kid (I’m assuming so) but I don’t think it was ever THIS bad. Going off the summary thing and how they only want the AI easy spark notes version, is that it’s translated to how they speak and act and move. They don’t even wanna put the work in when speaking to someone or reading a book. The word delulu just pisses me off beyond belief. It’s such a weird thought process and is “if you can get a book summary in 60 seconds then why ever read a book?”
The Mona Lisa example is golden and this was a good read. I just don’t like how they want a summary of everything now. Even when they speak and act and engaging in stuff, they only want the spark notes summary. Das fine and all but they don’t ever apply any of that content. The weirdest ones are the history ones that explain random people from history from some AI generated look alike that just AI voice retells their Wikipedia page.
@@The-Legend-of-P Appreciate you read my thoughts, thanks for sharing yours as well, and yeah it's the lack of application I think worries with advancing tech that is gonna make us less likely to ever care or frankly need to have certain skills that we take for granted, along with the utter bloat of information in this day and age. While we all love having this huge amount of information at our fingertips, the other side effect is information overload, misinformation and a decrease in information literacy.
I also don't think it's just a generational thing, if my generation grew up during this shit we'd end up down the same routes. Plus I've seen boomers at work try to use a computer they'd be cooked too lmao. I was just lucky enough to be a teen right before internet took off like this. For me the internet was a secluded place, as a kid I spent 98% of my free time wandering in the woods, hanging by the river, looking for random shit to do with my posse of bros lmao, building tree houses, digging caves, random ass stuff outside and just doing activities that would require interactions with other kids, adults, people constantly.
- Even when we gamed, it wasn't online, so all your buds came over to play mario party or super smash whatever it was on the nintendo.
So I don't intend to shame the younger generation, if anything I actually feel for em not gonna lie but it's kind of well I don't wanna be dramatic, it's very cyberpunk-y seeing little kids with phones in their hands for hours upon hours. Growing up living vicariously through other people, growing up like that has to make you lose grounding. But I get it, it's a lot easier to watch a content creator play a video game than ever playing it yourself. See I would just buy a guide as a kid, they skip that step and just watch the whole game. That said, I'm also old enough to get why you would give a kid an ipad to keep your kid busy, hopefully doing a game on there at least to get them engaged or thinking.
All in all tech is a great thing and advances us, the side effect being this false notion of virtual distance. Why go to your buddies house when you all just connect online? Why watch tv with the family, when we all have our own favorite shows we can watch privately by ourselves? This is why still to this day, I get together with the homies, partners and we watch a show we all vote on. Sitting down together with people and all experiencing something, anything, it can be a show, movie, or just an experience in general in real time is what grounds us. It's like how a movie theater experience just fills the atmosphere and gives this mood, everybody all sharing the same experience together.
@@Luzlec are you a millennial? Cause your childhood sounds like my uncles or dad (dads 50 and uncles 30 sum) and they grew up with n64 Og xbox, etc. even my brother who’s 24 now had friends over on Friday’s after school, they walked back from middle school and played games until nighttime. Wasn’t online like I have now where it’s across states/oversea friends, but actually sitting down playing 8 player smash on the Wii or something. I’m kinda worried what’s gonna happen next cause I clearly remember a kid in my highschool spending all day and all of class and lunch on his iPad on discord. Just texting his friends in a discord chat while in school. And that was 8 years ago so I only imagine how it is now with every kid having a computer and iPad since birth.
To further your point cause I really like what you said at the end. Technology is supposed to bring us together. It’s what social media has done. There’s going to be negatives from everything and weirdos in everything, but that doesn’t mean the positive effects aren’t there. It does seem a lil cyberpunk-y and some other dystopian book I read but blanking on the name, but the bad doesn’t undermine the good it does. The bad is just all we’re seeing because the media and social media only shows the bad. Never the good. Ik in schools they have restrictions on apps, and search engines like safari to stop kids from playing games or looking at porn on school tablets. Granted they have there own phones and safari’s but the stuffs somewhat in place
Social media is just the place to get together now. Instead of going to the woods for you or walk into town, they have there phones. And If I’m a parent today you know 100% I’m giving my kid an iPad to give ME some freedom and alone time. But I don’t think parents really know how to parent anymore. The iPad is such a crutch that they just use it whenever. Another uncle of mine has an 11 year old son and he’s just on games all the time now. Maybe my uncle should watch tv with him. Or offer to actually spend time with the kid doing something on the internet or together so you’re still engaging with them and being “together” like you said.
