I interact with a fair number of people who are either older Gen Z, or younger Millennials. They don't follow half of the rules in the blog post (example: you become un-dateable if you don't use lots of emojis on dating apps... seriously?). Of the rest, many have been around for decades (example: imperfect capitalization and punctuation does, in fact, imply informality, always has). If you read someone's text and then also read their Instagram story and you still haven't replied, that's fine. If anything it's a bit of a power move. But really it's just what ends up happening when you're busy and don't have time to dick around on social media and overthink shit. The article smacks of a mild anxiety disorder which is a common affliction of youth (sadly increasingly these days it's not so mild). The author would do well to ignore other people's petty shit and spend the next decade preoccupied with kicking ass at whatever he's best at.
