It irritates me more than it should, but I hate how virtually all major brands and sports teams seem to have the same “voice” on social media now. They all have this “desperate to be hip” and snarky tone of an urban teenager, all express the same restrained support for the social issue of the day (regional accounts may be excluded), and all overuse emoji.

I feel a lot of big YouTube channels do the same thing. The terrible thumbnails, the editing out of any pause, thought, or breath, the quips and the half-smirks. It just seems kind of juvenile or a dumbing down of things.

I don't get it, but I'm also not the audience so I try not to judge too harshly.

I’m right there with you. The constant attempt to be relevant and jump in on every situation is obnoxious. We can see right through you that you’re trying to manipulate us.

I'm still not sure why so many people think that random household product companies should be a source of political opinions. But for some reason there is consumer demand for that, at least in America. It almost makes the obsession with movie stars' takes on unrelated current affairs seem sensible in comparison
