1. This is why I absolutely CRINGE at the concept of "influencers" which apparently is the source

of all information for a hell of a lot of Gen-z (not just, Gen Z, mind you, but they seem to have really popularized it sans any concerns over credentials, experience, credibility).

There are plenty of valid, credible medical professionals. Granted, they are not 20-something (generally) and are undoubtedly a lot less entertaining. Yet, they get few views from those who REALLY need the unbiased information.

I still think there are those among all generations who will make us proud and improve our future. But, damn, it is hard not to feel intense concern. Of course, the latter may not even survive with the rampant idiocy they seem to listen to from "influencers," their peers, or stupid stunts and dares on tv shows
