Also, literally who cares. This isn't politics. Zoomers and millenials are very left-wing and that hasn't changer significantly in recent years. This isn't happening at scales that are shifting the political landscape. Idk why there is an obsession with this shit.

    Good advice is a lot more specific than something like "go talk to people," though. Where? How should I start a conversation? If I want to ask someone on a date, how do I do that, and when is a good time? That's stuff you'll get into on basically no left-wing site.

    You avoid creep territory with stuff like "ask once," "be cool if she says no," and generally avoiding cringe pseudoscience concepts like "alpha" shit.

      Yeah but an online influencer can’t give that good, specific advice. Because I’ve known people who do everything right on paper, but they have personal personality flaws that drive people away. An online stranger wouldn’t be able to see that.

        Like getting better at anything, you'd have a process of talking through what exactly you said/did and figuring out how to improve. Doing this in person is better than doing this online, but you can get a lot out of online conversations if you don't bullshit yourself or others.

        Ideas like this work well with ideas like self-criticism.

      The problem is that the people giving the advice are well adjusted already. Thus they don't have to give specific advice, they can just say obvious things like "talk to people" which is impossibly vague and useless.
