haha honestly it really does, i left it in on accident trying to just upload it as quick as i could to delete from my camera roll and didn’t notice it.

Alan Watts said like 50 years ago that people care more about taking pictures of a vacation than the actual vacation itself. It's funny to hear the exact same thing said as if it's anything new.

Zoomers really are oblivious to the colonization of the internet. Every forum is now a subreddit, irc has been segregated into a billion useless Discord servers, everyone uses streaming music instead of buying it (thus making Spotify literally worse than piracy from a musician's perspective, it isn't profitable), people "make art" with AI I'm not going to pretend like the internet of 2000-2010 was the best, but it was definitely not compromised like it is now. the irony of seeing the aggressively regionally specific "go vote" ads through a US friend's RUclips's display capture on discord is not lost on me
The architects of internet got you hooked on the technology in those early days. When they got you hooked on the product, they can now reap the benefits of it.

Me bingeing entire day of RUclips: yeah this is a problem. Have to quit social media Then swipes down and find new videos to watch meanwhile quickly browses twitter for a split sec
The only wrong thing he said was "it's not cuz anyone is bad" Let me tell you companies who come for every second of your life, are bad. They don't care.
Twitter turned into X - isn't public anymore and is even worse, being public or private isn't relevant, the incentive structure is broken in both cases.

Using one single example does not suffice for an argument.
Twitter/X is definitely an exception that proves the rule, because it got bought by Elon Musk, who now uses it as a megaphone to promote his other businesses, at least one of which *is* public, and as a political cudgel to manipulate public opinion to enrich himself. It’s losing millions of dollars a day by itself, but it’s made the man who owns it *rich enough to buy the US government* Twitter didn’t stop being profitable, it simply became part of the Elon Musk brand, and its own profitability became irrelevant. If anything it’s the ultimate example of what Bo is talking about: every company is beholden to its shareholders at the cost of everything else. Twitter sacrificed literally everything for the benefit of one specific shareholder.
@@yeetyeetonthestreet-colinm1186 yea he's got this genius idea of making it into an "everything app" which means the user's gonna be able to look at porn one second and order a pizza or something in the next. essentially what bo says, he wants to invade every aspect of your online life. the question is, "can he tho?" and frankly i am not a believer 😂
Twitter/X was NEVER public. These are PRIVATELY OWNED SPACES (Including RUclips), not “the public square”. Stop being BAMBOOZLED by bad corporations, who don’t have your best interests at heart!
I was raised in a Christian family where I was taught that, upon death, everything that I have done is going to be viewed by a counsel who will then judge all of my life choices. This thinking has heavily influenced my choices.
Works-based salvation is a falsehood, "there is none good, no not one" I was a washed up addict, done shit that'll haunt me forever, but I know the power of Jesus' everlasting grace, and when I stand before him, and he judges me based on my works, I can know the outcome "Lord, I'm a rotten human being, but by your grace, I am saved" wasn't anything I did to "earn salvation" we just have to accept Jesus, he'll take care of the rest
@@SWIM-02354 I now work for a Christian organization that helps grown men find spirituality and it is something that i believe in, but a child should not be taught these things before they learn how the world really works.
I mean if you think about it, TV channels also used to profit mainly from getting your attention. This “colonization of attention” stuff really isn’t new.
Translation: "Now that I've acquired my wealth from these very platforms, it's time for me to take the moral highground." Just your average celebrity. If these people really wanna help, they should go volunteer at a soup kitchen like the rest of us and keep quiet.
Every business needs attention. Entertainment garners attention temporarily, a movie or TV show is finite and is arguably better leisure time than the platforms that he calls out that try to take your attention every second of the day.
Dumb take. It’s human nature to improve and expand. Education, sports, art, human individuals. Raise your kids better and they won’t look to strangers on the Internet for validation. Companies are just doing what people do. Get more, get better. Bo just wants critics to tell him how smart he is and pat him on the head “good boy Bo.”

@colfaxhamilton3052 I wouldn’t have noticed that if you didn’t say it.

The last second of the video was poetic. The drop down iPhone cut brings realness to what Bo said.

He's right. Now times to watch the next video of someone being wise.
He's right. Now, put down your phone.

i was actually just procrastinating doing that very thing so thank you for reminding me 😭
Who the hell do you think you are, RUclips comment? Telling me how to live my life. Piss off.
Just who do you think you are, RUclips comment?

Bo's a bright boy
They stopped colonizing the LAND and are now colonizing our TIME. Amazing words!
The simulacrum is never what hides the truth, it is truth that hides the fact that there is none. The simulacrum is true.
The spectacle is the guardian of sleep.

Bo could end up being the Chomsky for the digital age with these facts.
The hashtag being #simulacra is on point.

Truly iconic

Every business needs attention. Entertainment garners attention temporarily, a movie or TV show is finite and is arguably better leisure time than the platforms that he calls out that try to take your attention every second of the day.
RUclips was not a public company years ago. It's different now and more exploitive. Try using your brain.
