What stupid unnecessary bullshit thing did you dismiss as stupid and unnecessary but gained popularity anyway?

I like warning people younger than myself: If new things coming out appear stupid and unnecessary now, it’s only going to get worse. Even when I was a kid, things began to feel stupid and unnecessary.

Instagram. I never used instagram because facebook already existed and I wasn't a 12 year old girl. Just like Google Plus, it was stupid and served no purpose. Years later, it’s pervasive as ever. This entire generation of zoomers divided themselves across several redundant platforms,

Twitter was always a gimmick. You could post 128 character posts. It’s still a gimmick of a platform but I’m glad Musk bought it.

Computers have peaked. What could Windows 11 possibly have to offer us when Windows 10 works just fine. If they still supported 98 or XP, I’m sure many of us would still be using those as they took up fewer hardware resources. And you need to login to a Microsoft account. That’s bullshit.

I remember cutting carbs to lose weight and get healthy. People warned me I’d have a heart attack. Not only did such diets become mainstream. They’ve also corrupted into marketing bullshit. People eat “fat bombs” and stuff themselves full of artificial sweeteners and insoluble fiber instead of eating a damn steak. “Keto”is marketing bullshit.
