Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, citizens were free to watch YouTube videos to their hearts’ desire, without being constantly bombarded with ads for fat-burning tea and companies that will help you build the perfect resume. These same residents could go to the grocery store and purchase a gallon of milk without wondering if they were going to be able to pay rent that month, and they could walk home without hearing TikToks blaring from other people’s phones.
Romanticizing the past isn’t always the healthiest thing to do. But we have to admit, there are some things that have gotten way out of hand these days, so Reddit users have recently been calling them out. Below, you’ll find some of these annoyances that likely grind your gears too, so enjoy reading through and be sure to upvote the things you’d like to put an end to as well!
#1
Already out of hand and has been for a while, but keeps getting worse: advertisements everywhere.

Influencers.

Illiteracy, be it scientific, biological, or media. Too many people are too comfortable with not understanding things.

Rich getting richer and the poorer getting poorer.

Everyplace asking for a tip.

#6
Comment sections on social media. They used to be pretty fun to scroll through and engage with, now it’s mostly full of insufferable people who get off on arguing with strangers online picking fights over literally anything.

The US healthcare system. It just gets worse (greedier) year after year.

#12
Planned obsolescence. The absolute worst. How is it that a 400 dollar phone and 1500 dollar phone have the same 1 year warranty?

Monthly subscriptions. Not just streaming services. Software, games and even vehicle features.
It’s like the MBAs from MBB have their hands in everything now.

‘Main character’ syndrome.
mh985:
Social media feeding into people’s narcissism.
_Perfect_Mistake_:
“Me me me” attitude. Social media has played a huge part of this attention-seeking attitude. Everyone feels the need to be recognized.

social media & phone addiction, i work with kids and it’s surreal how they are born into it, it’s so normalised creativity is dying, I fear our next generation, everyone is glued to their phones.

The cost to simply be alive and take care of yourself.

#18
Rent increases and mortgage rates.

#19
Gun violence. It’s BEEN out of hand but it’s absolutely terrifying to live in the US right now. Nowhere is safe – not church, not your local bar, not the bank, not the farmers market, not a music festival or concert, nowhere is safe.

Corporate greed.

#21
Short videos on every social media app. It destroys the attention span and critical thinking abilities, mainly for children that grow up with these apps watching endless short videos. They will have no motivation to do something else that costs more effort and it is truly concerning.

Literally everything/everyone raising their prices for seriously everything. I have gotten so many “we are raising our prices this year to growing inflation” and yes the items are smaller, you dont get the same as you did before, or the product is worse. They all say we need to raise the rates for something because they cant afford to keep running their business on the prices now. But yet they show record profits. I’m looking at you Xcel…. among others and others and others just like this. Its insane.

Plastic, especially single-use stuff.

How people easily get replaced. Be it jobs, friendships or relationship.

#26
Obesity. The strain it’s causing on the healthcare system is enormous.

#27
The pressure from social media to look absolutely perfect at all times, to the point where everyday people are having surgery to alter their looks.

Artificial Intelligence.
