        Many genXers and boomers arent able to critically evaluate social media with the distrust that it’s earned.

        Think like a child, be referred to as a child, your ignorance was matched by your arrogance there.

            Who else besides a child would choose to believe that gen x people are incapable of understanding social media?

            If they were not a child, they would have suggested ‘the silent generation, and baby boomers’

            The majority of social media users are millennials/z/alpha, social media is manipulating more of them than any other demographic, and the majority of ‘influencers’ doing the manipulation are millennials/z/alpha. Often the only real difference in thought processes, selfishness, and consumerism between millennials/z/alpha and baby boomers is… age.

            That is all of course only if you wish to buy into the whole ‘generations’ thing…
