I'm into it and I consider it largely bullshit as well.
I don't know if the core thing it's based on, the Jungian cognitive functions, is debunked or outdated or maybe even legitimate, so idk if there is something to it at all or not.
But as a matter of fact, 99% of MBTI stuff online is "hahaha, I just looove drinking coffee in the morning, I'm such an ISFJ!" and that really is just astrology.
And tbh, that stuff is a lot more fun. Something in our monkey brains just loves putting labels on ourselves, creating little in-groups and going "TRUUUEEE THAT'S SO ME" like a bunch of clapping seals when someone else in our in-group says something we agree with. And it's also fun to read about how cool and special your type is, my type is INTP which is basically the king of the nerds, and I love MBTI youtubers telling me how smart & logical I am because I'm this type, it's just basic flattery so I want to believe it.
As far as I'm concerned, it's mostly slop like any other. I like talking about it because I find it interesting and fun, but I would never make actual judgments on people based on it.
