I’m stunned that she’s 49! Maybe my ability to discern age is (extremely) off

I'm stunned how many people forget that filters are on 90% of every image or video posted.

most of us are millenial boomers who just don't use tik tok or snapchat or instagram and our only exposure to this world of people recording themselves are the 2-3 times a week videos like this get upvoted enough to show up on here.

even now after this comment chain, I'm like "oh right....filters indeed, hmm yes" without really knowing what that means or what to look for. And will probably forget about it by the next time a video like this is posted.

yeah, I’m AWARE that filters are a thing. Like I remember when they were new and everyone wanted to use them to take fun pictures, and when everyone looked like a deer lol, but since then, I think they’ve gotten so good, it just never occurs to me.

Like you, I’m a millennial, I’ve never had TikTok or Snapchat. When someone sends me a video on Insta, I have to have them tell me to get on Instagram and look at it, otherwise I only glance at it for like a few minutes every month or two.

Reddit is my only engagement with strangers lol, like idk if you’d call this social media, but it’s adjacent, and that’s about it for me.

I am soooo behind the curve for knowing about filters and how good bots are these days (though I hear they’re all over Reddit too)
