    Too easily distracted by technology, making the mistake of taking technology as a saviour for their problems and specially making the new tech celebrity CEOs and some mega corps as their idols.

    Even though GenX made Bill gates and Steve Jobs their heroes, millennials followed right along. They made Musk/Tesla their heroes, they continued to idolize Apple/Jobs, heck even Google was viewed positively until I'm going to guess around the mid 2010's when their product dumping became too much of a meme and they straight up took the mask off with the don't be evil thing.

    And that was just tech. When it came to internet and gaming the same idol culture continued, they made Blizzard and Bethesda their heroes because they played those shit games in their childhood.

    The current anti-corporation sentiment is pretty recent and is more of a consequence of corporations being too greedy too fast(e.g they built and then destroyed the "live service" model within like ~5 years). In general millenials should be blamed for retreating to their happy safe space and mistaking happiness through consumption as a reason to idolize those that made the treats.

    You liked classic WoW/Warcraft 3 or Morrowing, doesn't make Blizzard anything but a piece of shit company, always was. But they wouldn't realize that(still don't realy) because literaly making this face when they play their nostalgic shit. :so-true:
