you ever read a sentence and immediately realize the person that said it has never spoken to a person under the age of 30?
(With full understanding that the person that said this is only 25)
Yes. It's like how boomers refer to everyone under the age of 40 as a millennial. They'll be screaming, "these damn millennial don't want to work" blah bla blah go fuxk yoursef madam . It's like ma'am these guys and gals are 23. Not millennial
While still thinking millennials are “just kids”.
It doesn't make sense either. There's probably 100s of apps that are capable of serving Disney content to people. This is another case of 'young people are broke and you're greedy'. Whereas old Disney was a VHS tape or DVD that you could play over and over again, currently basically all their content is on Disney+, which is an expensive monthly subscription.
Sounds like boomer talk to me …. But she has a point. My kids are definitely not interested in passively sitting and watching whatever dreck for two hours.
Maybe I’d phrase it like:
… kids these days have a lot more choices for entertainment and are more likely to prefer shorter form and more interactive entertainment
