I’M TIRED OF NOT LIKE US

[@adangerousmind357]

I still haven’t listened to it 😂 The perks of not Fkin with social media 👌🏾 YT is as close as I get

[@BLUEGUTTA]

@@adangerousmind357 exactly songs are totally avoidable these days

[@unwrittenbylj]

This is a funny & accurate take, I totally get it! But in ways, these things still have the possibility of being an individualized / customized experience. I log into Ig once every 3-4 wks, haven’t been overwhelmed with it there. Sure, Spotify tries to plug the song in my playlists, but I skip it when I truly don’t want to hear it. Did I watch the video? Absolutely! A few times! Was excited about it too lol. But then I moved on. When the think pieces show up in my YT algorithm, I selectively interact with them. We can even thumbs down or ask it to ‘suggest less like this’ if we’re really ticked off with it. In the 90’s, we were at the mercy of the tv/radio which were the largest sources of entertainment. Nowadays, I don’t listen to the radio and I barely watch tv. I stream what and when I want to. I’ve totally missed most of the Kendrick/Drake beef, by choice. Thankfully, we have options these days! ✨

@@unwrittenbylj EXACTLY he has it completely BACKWARDS lol 😂 we had to listen to the radio couldn’t fast forward shows and commercials etc lol 😂 I haven’t heard a radio station for over 15 years atp lol 😂 well said!!!

LOL

[@PaperMario64]

You’re right. Social media runs everything into the ground. Watch one persons opinion and you’ll get force fed 12 more. When YT people write articles and make videos explaining a song for other YT folks, it’s officially overdone.

[@BLUEGUTTA]

That’s a lie all those songs were playing EVERYWHERE IN THE MALL IN STORES 😂😂😂EVERY WHERE BLOCKBUSTER ETC HITS ARE ALWAYS PLAYED EVERYWHERE 😂 this makes no sense just get offline you’ll be alright

[@Traviscasetalks]

@@BLUEGUTTA bro I literally can’t escape it because I have to be online for work. There’s no getting offline for me. We would be foolish to not think getting a lot of those same placements though offline

[@BLUEGUTTA]

[@Traviscasetalks]

@@BLUEGUTTA so I can’t be on socials before and after work? I’m ashamed to say that I’m my phone more than I should be. Im not saying it’s a bad song. I’m just saying it’s everywhere

[@BLUEGUTTA]

@@Traviscasetalks sounds like you have a self control issue Kendrick is the least of your worries. Look it’s a cool engaging video but you have it COMPLETELY BACKWARDS we HAD to listen to Radio If we turn the radio off we would hear it in the grocery stores the malls blockbuster Best Buy etc we didn’t have Amazon or apps to shops from home we HAD to be out in the world damn near EVERY DAY why do you think it’s called Radio and television PROGRAMMING . Honestly out in the world I don’t even hear the song most places I go to either don’t play music( so they don’t offend any particular group) or play old school music (once again not to offend) no one is going to play a song w pdf file in the lyrics In this timeline in their establishment 🤣🤣🤣nice try tho songs are totally avoidable these days I don’t hear Megan the stallion sexy red Eminem or anything else I don’t care for I just scroll past it.Easy!!!! you might wanna take a social media break ijs… no disrespect

@@BLUEGUTTAThe addictive effects on social media are definitely a big conversation. I’m a news writer so I literally have to know what’s going on at all times. Twitter for example and other outlets are a big part of acquiring news fast in real time. I have to live on social media to pay my bills. It sounds like we are battling personal experiences here. For me, for example the discussion of not like us is on my timeline, where I have to be, in the newsroom where I have to be, group chats, and with family and friends who want to discuss it IRL. Even sports and cultural writers and personalities I follow are discussing it and then using the term “not like us” in there discussions. Women who’ve I’ve gone on dates with want to talk about it. For me that’s EVERYWHERE. Sure it may not have gotten 90’s level placement but the song, the beef, and the overall topic is everywhere
