I check out youtube for two reasons:
I got kicked from a Discord group because "We don't write like that here".
Who says I'm not already at that point? lmao
no. The people that I know both irl and online were already friends from real life that just linked up to whatever common online venue we could share. But to be honest, I don't really engage irl friends through online means. They just call and hang out the old-fashioned way.
people go gaga over the stupidest things. and imo, fame isn't earned. It's given by the public (and by the public, I mean us). So a better source question would be:
Money! Money makes the world go round, hence Silver Platter. Money breeds exposure, exposure breeds fans. Kinda just the way we work. Human beings REALLY like idolizing people, sometimes for all the wrong reasons.
yes. Being too optimistic is just being unrealistic. And being too open-minded leads to having no standards

is pretty much right on the money there. Optimism can have such downsides as being overly trusting, overconfident and underestimating the risks or costs (including costs in effort) of doing something. You could even bring more harm to those around you simply by failing to see your own behavior in a more critical light, and thus failing to understand the need to correct yourself.
I have a child (he's 4). I don't plan on having more. But I guess if I was to tell a future child what this decade was like. I would say it was... one that clung to romanticized versions of old ideas and tried to renew them as their own. but failed miserably. The music is bad, the politicians are idiots (though, I'm sure every generation believes this), the cars have lost any sense of style and become needlessly complicated. Movies and television have become a regurgitation of tropes that very few even understand the origin of. And people have largely lost their own identities on account of social media lending to the homogeny of their personalities and interests.
