    I 100% resonate with what you are saying. Do you think the internet will slowly evolve back to authentic creators being at the top? Or is it only downhill from here, especially with AI and fake content growing

    • @rohansillyguy
      @rohansillyguy 2 дня назад

      ehhhhh to say it's only downhill is a bit too cynical and lazy of a take for my taste. i think if anything the real human connection matters even more than ever in an age of digital abundance. i made a video on AI a couple months back, shameless plug but good representation of my thoughts on the future of the internet. what do you think?

  • @tonywilde1709
    @tonywilde1709 2 месяца назад

    Some very intriguing commentary, really enjoyed the video. On an ironic level, I've watched many videos on here pertaining to corporate failures, and Blockbusters was definitely one of those examples, but this is the first time I've been introduced to your channel. Maybe the algorithm was taking notes after all 🤣 Can easily see, similar to JustEat and similar outlets trampling upon the traditional restaurant sit-down model post-pandemic, local bars and pubs being the next industry to be hit heavy with this, as you put it, 'efficient consumption'. Going out has become cumbersome, expensive and a lot less popular with our generation. I don't know what it would look like, but I could easily see a Netflix for drinkers in the very near future.

    • @rohansillyguy
      @rohansillyguy 2 месяца назад

      hahaha super glad you enjoyed! and yup, it's just a matter of what will be the tipping point for each industry before consumers demand the in person, 'inefficient' experience. food and drink, i think, is one of those industries which i'd be shocked goes fully 'efficient', the experience of so many of these places is predicated on the interaction with service people, other customers, and enjoying the ambiance of bars, restaurants, etc. at least that's my hope lol

    This is so true. I mean depending on when you were born, you missed out on A LOT of stuff. Is it making your existence worthless? So, why do we think if we out on the new chicken sandwich or new overpriced merch, we're gonna miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime? If anything we're just wasting time worrying about missing out on something not important while simultaneously missing out on what truly matters. We buy that merch, but then we lose savings for our dreams, we get the chicken sandwich, but that makes us feel fat diminishes our confidence to speak to that girl. Great video man

    I never thought it signified the loneliness epidemic. I just assumed it was because of late stage capitalism and McDonald's needing less incentive to draw customers in, because people will go there regardless. Additionally, they don't have to worry about safety liabilities and upkeep of the play places, which can be disgusting. Out of the 20 or so McDonald's by me, I think only one has a play place now.
