I beg to differ. If there's one thing, even though I only got properly into the Internet around 2020, I have heard about how old social media was FAR better for the internet in general than stuff like Youtube and Twitter from people like Kurzgesagt; it allowed for more IRL-like social interaction through the segregation of communities into different 'cliques', kind of what Reddit and Lemmy are trying to capture. As a consequence, there was far less open and widespread drama, random hate and misinformation, unlike today.

Tom Scott and Matpat didn't talk about breaks; they're closing up shop for good in some way: MatPat has said he's handing over creative control of the Theorist channels and assuming a more casual admin role to spend more time with his kid. Tom Scott said that he set a limit for 10 years on his main channel; he may come back to it, but it doesn't seem likely. Others are also quitting, such as Moo from the Vanoss Crew.

From what I've heard on the grapevine (I also don't watch his stuff), his channel really declined in quality past 2019, and it just hasn't been the same.

For those of y'all who don't know: MatPat has announced that he will be stepping down from The Game Theorists to focus on himself and his family; Tom Scott has gone on indefinite hiatus for similar reasons.

I believe this heralds a new era of the internet, where 'old' creators are not as influential as the 'new' crop springing up, given the rise of Tiktok and the general direction of social media as a whole.

For those people who want to hear my interests, I made this meme regarding my music taste: I appreciate AJR, listen to Jon Bellion and think Golden Hour is a good song, all while saying that Taylor Swift is overrated (which she is; come on, listen to other artists). As a consequence, when I see that people decide that artists such as AJR, Imagine Dragons, Nickelback, and other artists are s**t and should not be listened to, I thought to myself: why?

Post in the comments additions to my list; I wanted to add more but I missed some.

Yeah i also completely forgot Unity. This "Worst Dumpster Fire" ladder only had 3 spots.

Reddit just decided it was a good idea to REMOVE the option to disable ad personalisation. Good job u/spez. We know what you're doing.

I second this.

What about during breaks? They're doing that as well.

P.S: This also applies during breaks.

That aren't motivated and are bored as hell; the average motivation level for schools where I live is a 2.9... out of 10. If kids aren't motivated and they have devices on them, what do you think they would do in class?

I don't think so tbh. If students are motivated enough, then this policy wouldn't need to be pursued.
