Despite the disclaimer, I do find (at least some of this) very "old millennial yells at zoomers". Maybe it's just the way it's written, because I do agree with some of the points (e.g. the pressures and stress created by instagram). However,
>Maybe if you get mediocre food delivered to your house you can get the serotonin from making "real dinner"
This seems to just be stick-shaking for the sake of it. I don't think anyone is ordering dinner and pretending it's a "real dinner" as a serotonin booster. Most of the time people are just a combination of hungry and lazy. Or would rather spend a couple extra bucks to get something they are craving but don't have the groceries for.
>Maybe if you just give enough "twitch bits" the person behind the screen will say your name and you can feel connection in this world
This is such a small slice of younger people. Even in the IT classes I teach at my local college, I would guess maybe 1/4 of recent cohorts watch twitch more than once a quarter. And of that group, I doubt even 1/10th do more than their prime sub. Leave the IT bubble and there's plenty of kids who have literally never visited twitch. Probably the majority.
I think there are lots of fair criticisms here, and I'm not denying your experience. But it seems like you're interacting with a pretty specific subset of younger people, and I find the title quite a stretch.
