They’re all mediums. The content on them can be anything from mindless to informative.It’s all up to who’s curating it. Do you leave it up to the algos and advertisers or actually provide something to your kids? Up to a certain age letting them do whatever on the internet is idiotic like letting them run around a bookshop that carries porn and mein Kampf.
They didn’t exist before the 2016 election. They were mostly astroturf. The original Donald sub was entirely bashing him and intentionally killed off.

That couples meme shit was an odd one. What kind of people are sitting around making loads of memes about boomerhumour couples? Who does that? Memes are almost always niche or inside jokes, not this.
