This is a pretty broad age range though. I definitely wasn’t quoting office space until like late high school. Are there really that many 17/18 year olds quoting skibidi toilet?

The shit I quoted when I was younger, close to the “skibidi” age was like home star runner and the like. Perhaps not quite as dumb, but still stupid as shit.

I think the algorithms are driving worse engangement, certainly, and profit driven creations are at an all time high rather than just weird shit being made. But newgrounds, addictinggames, hell, ytmnd, were all sort of brainrot

Granted I grew up with some computers in schools in elementary school, and the internet being relatively available in middle school (though things like Google and Wikipedia were just born / in their infancy)
