Kids these days, amirite?!

I still feel weird about video. Gen Z just confuses me.

Gen Alpha will embrace telepresence. Then Gen Beta will reject the esthetics of disintermediation altogether and only relate face-to-face. Then Gen Gamma will create kinetic visual vocabularies, a synthesis of dance, sign language, and improv.

The pendulum will continue to swing.

Each cohort has their own thing. Different medias aren't better or worse. They're just different.

For the record, my post above made no value judgment about which medias are better or worse or ragged on “kids these days”. I just wanted to emphasize that the forum behavior which the quoted person claims to have aged out of, is actually being kept alive by his very generation.
Forgive my non sequitur. Rereading my words, I don't think I was replying to you or your points. But now I can't tell who (or what) I was responding to. So I'll just blame my pre-senility.
