Teenagers? Weren’t you young and naive too once?

Sure. And I followed music and a little fashion like everyone does.

And yet even in those days, actors selling things was never anything more than that; actors being used for advertising.

Sometimes that can be genuinely funny, or moving etc, but I'm not invested in any actor past their acting ability.

Oh look, Robert Deniro is in an ad for pasta sauce, is not the same as exposing myself to every published thought of Robert Deniro. He's a great actor and he's probably a great guy, but his machinations on the school run or biscuits? Nope.

I've been using Mastodon recently and it's rapidly becoming clear why I never used Twitter. I don't give shit and I've got better things to do.

Like Lemmy and trying to stop using Reddit. And family and work and my hobbies....

Yes, then I got scammed on runescape once and became old and jaded.
