No, that was around 2016, after Trump was elected. That's when I got my first smartphone. But YouTube wasn't relevant to me, and social media certainly wasn't. I created accounts and had the same attitude then as I do now in that regard. I hated that my posts could be liked and that I immediately noticed how inferior I felt because I had seven likes on my profile picture or something. I thought that was extremely shitty, so I stopped immediately. I chatted a lot with friends on WhatsApp. I think that was definitely what I spent most of my time doing and read manga on my smartphone. Naruto, One Piece, etc. When it comes to politics, I was raised on an extreme hatred of the USA, which gave me an excellent framework for understanding the internet and news. I remember when Obama was elected and I said in class that the USA is generally a horrible country that likes to murder people. My teacher was shocked at the time, she was pretty hyped because Obomba had won.
