The internet disgust me

[MelaninWarlord]

The YouTube video titled "the internet disgusts me" by the channel Tragic Reality discusses the author's disdain for the internet, focusing on how it has negatively impacted aspects of modern life.


The main points of the video are:

• Noise and Overload: The internet creates too much "noise"—an overload of unnecessary information that makes people feel like they're drowning in it, which they mistake as normal [00:09].
• Death of Mystery and Curiosity: The internet has destroyed the sense of mystery and curiosity that existed before it [00:52]. Now, any question can be answered in seconds, which stifles the process of dwelling in one's own thoughts and allowing curiosity to turn into creativity [01:15].
• Traveling is Less Compelling: The easy access to information (e.g., YouTube videos about Tokyo) removes the mystery and element of surprise from traveling, making the destination feel predictable and less worth visiting [03:09].
• The Illusion of Connection: The internet sold the idea of global connection, but the author argues it's an illusion and "not real" [04:19]. Interactions often occur with a profile picture, not a person, and lack presence, emotion, or body language [05:22], resulting in a simulation of connection [06:47].
• Fear of Solitude and Boredom: The illusion of connection makes people afraid of being alone and bored [08:13]. Instead of using boredom to spark creativity or introspection, most people now immediately turn to scrolling TikTok or consuming other content, drowning themselves in internet noise and losing their sanctuary of silence and solitude [10:27].
