I blame Ritalin for this type of video, either someone took too much or needs to up their dosage. Visual graphix aside, it's just exhausting to listen to. Dude, take a breath, or at least allow your viewers to take one. Had to double check I didn't leave my YT player in faster than normal playback speed.

Yes, I would suggest in this specific instance you are.

>but I’m really tired of ADHD ableist jokes like this one

Not once did I mention ADHD which is a medically recognized condition. However, the use of Ritalin in today's society is not limited to those that are prescribed Ritalin as a treatment for ADHD. There are many many people that use it recreationaly. Being around people using it as an upper gives me the impression that I'm stuck in molasses with their hyper-everything. It's exhausting.

I am a little surprised to see no one question the author's description or assumption of "Gen Z". As someone presumably from Gen Z, I find both interfaces either bad or terrible. The partiful design is outright tacky and looks terrible (nothing homogeneous, questionable design choices etc) but Filteroff has so much whitespace it feels like it was designed by soulless corps at Uber or Facebook who just studied from Pi…

Reminds me of the Girls quote, "I think that I may be the voice of my generation. Or at least a voice. Of a generation."

I'm late 40s and would prefer the Gen-Z mode in a dating app. Give me clean and utilitarian on a note taking app or something where I'm creating. Give me something fun (but usable) for something that should be fun.

Yeah, let's not paint the entire web with one brush. Very astute point.

Boomer mode is when there's 13 advertising popups all over your screen and autoplaying videos on full volume.

Someone of age 50 in 2022 is part of Gen X not Boomer gen.

I think jamil was implying Boomers are too stupid to know how to install an ad-blocker. As a Gen-X, I’m inclined to agree.

At one point the entire web was fun and quirky, then myspace came along and everyone stopped making their own webpages opting instead to customize their profile in crazy ways, then facebook came along and only allowed rigid government like structure. Tumblr was a beacon of hope for a time, but then wild creativity moved to sanctioned playgrounds like minecraft, or to the personal web pages of highly skilled artists.

I remember most of me and my friends breathing a collective sigh of relief at how clean Facebook was when it came out, compared to the chaos that was MySpace

Gen-Z mode would get me more excited, interested to use the app for its intended purpose. Shouldn't all apps aspire the same?

You must hate Hacker News then.

Hackernews is (fairly) well designed for it's purpose, so I don't understand this comment. The example in the article is a party app.

"Needs to up their dosage" would imply someone who medically requires Ritalin to treat something, which could only be ADHD. Take that part out and the joke is otherwise fine/about what you're saying.

What are the actual differences between millenials and gen z? I would argue both are characterized by the fact that there is no single fit-all characteristic. There is no common pop-culture to define a generation any more.

Experiences. One big one is that most Millennials were hit by 2008, while Gen Z wasn't, but at the time we believed what we were told that 2008 was an aberration and things would get back to normal. We were also raised in the "go to college and you'll be set for life" era, so we were given expectations that were then ripped away by rapid change. Gen Z didn't believe anything they were told to begin with, because whil…

Older Gen Z graduated into the pandemic, like millenials with '08

I first noticed this "Gen-Z" mode trend when I played Mario Kart on Wii. Compared to N64 or SNES, the screen was so busy. I honestly had a hard time keeping track of where my player was and where the "track" was compared to all the colorful fast-moving background cruft. I'm not a gamer so maybe I'm just not used to it. Fortnite seems like another example of how "Gen-Z" and headachy a digital environment can be. For s…

Fortnite is pretty visually clean if you ask me
