Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, citizens were free to watch YouTube videos to their hearts’ desire, without being constantly bombarded with ads for fat-burning tea and companies that will help you build the perfect resume. These same residents could go to the grocery store and purchase a gallon of milk without wondering if they were going to be able to pay rent that month, and they could walk home without hearing TikToks blaring from other people's phones.
Romanticizing the past isn’t always the healthiest thing to do. But we have to admit, there are some things that have gotten way out of hand these days, so Reddit users have recently been calling them out. Below, you’ll find some of these annoyances that likely grind your gears too, so enjoy reading through and be sure to upvote the things you’d like to put an end to as well!

Absolutely everything being a scam or a con.
From MLMs to literally fake products for "sale", to the ever increasing barrage of fake accounts trying to trick people into handing over money or credit card details, everything is a hustle.
It now takes effort to sift through the c**p to find real things.

Partisanship and disdain for expertise. Every moron in the world is convinced that watching youtube videos and regurgitating disinformation beats judicious study and qualifications, in forming an opinion.

Ignorance. So many poorly educated people with no desire to learn. Self education is now seen as a chore instead of a great skill or power. Knowledge is power.

The pressure from social media to look absolutely perfect at all times, to the point where everyday people are having surgery to alter their looks.
