Is this really the society we live in now?
•Where having a brain, facts/evidence/common sense, and logic will get you punished, while being a self-entitled, pretentious idiot gets you fame and popularity?
•Where misleading, clickbait videos gets you lots of subscribers, while youtubers with original content get thrown to the side? Actually when YouTube wasn't this big battle royale over who can get the most subs. What happened to YouTube 10 years ago?
•Where music about drugs, b1tches, etc. with partial nudity becomes hits, and songs about your goals, life problems, just actual messages are ignored?
I mean, we all love technology, but at least we didn't become mindless zombies off of it. (Using phones at all time in public, y'know, instead of actually socializing. Well I'm introverted, so it's already hard for me to socialize)
[b]EDIT:[/b] I'll rephrase myself on the 3rd one. Yes, catchy songs with no messages are ok, but if majority of the lyrics are about drugs, b1tches, all the typical stuff, then I stay away from listening to it. Mumble rappers fit in this topic.

For the first one, yes. From what I've seen in the part of society I live in (the US), logic and objectivity very often takes a back seat to those who very heavily demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect. For the second one, this isn't new. Youtube has been like that since its inception. It all depends on who you look for. For me, I've seen very popular Youtuber channels such as HTME, who mixes entertainment with logic and information. Another Youtuber I follow is Steve1989MREInfo, who also does the same thing, and neither of them are really clickbaity. Both are original creators with ideas that are original. Logic made a song that was literally named after [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cycUHgg0zzU]the Suicide Hotline number[/url] and that exploded on to the scene. Childish Gambino [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYOjWnS4cMY]made a song[/url] that discussed what you were talking about, except he was much more critical about American culture. It was mostly well-received, but in this area of the US, it was seen as extremely negative due to a lot of people in this area seeing it as anti-conservative. Joyner Lucas also made an extremely [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43gm3CJePn0]critical song[/url] pertaining to political identity, partisanship, and how people outside of America view our current political climate. It's an explicit song that uses a lot of swear words and makes use of the N-word with the hard r. These are the three songs I can think of that are popular right off the bat, but also have a pretty deep message in them. Again, this all depends on the kind of music you are around and the music you are actively looking for. If I can recommend one that is an older song but addresses issues that we still see today in the US, here is a song by Fort Minor: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBhwIo9GiLE]Kenji[/url]. Personally for me, I'm also very introverted, and while I check my phone a lot, I also socialize quite a bit. I'm definitely not the one who initiates conversation, but I can now easily carry a conversation without forcing myself to do so.
