The state of the 21st century youth

Hello to all fellow forum members who are reading this. I'd like to ask your opinions about how our society is shaped today (talking more specifically about younger people). Recently this guy called Régis Tadeu, who has a channel in YouTube dedicated to reviews and that kind of stuff about rock music in general, released a video called "Subcelebridades mentem como canalhas", which in English would mean something like "Subcelebrities lie like scoundrels". He basically rants about how people today use unethical methods to promote their work, like, let's say, a song (that some wouldn't even consider as music) through social networks (and especially how effective this is to bring them "followers"). According to him, some of these methods include fake death threaths, fake kidnappings, drama, etc. He claims that the people who follow these subcelebrities (particularly, the so called digital influencers) are generally of the lowest level, who haven't read a single book in an entire year and instead, spend all their time behind their phone screen instead of doing something really useful. 

Long story short; a rant about how people (specifically the youth) are getting idiot and retarded on the web nowdays.

As a teen myself, I hate social networks. I feel out of place regularly living in such times of a super connected world. Sometimes I just feel like hiding in my shell.
