A Satirical Look at the Evolution of Smartphone Usage Since 2007
This meme contrasts the initial excitement surrounding the introduction of smartphones in 2007 with a cynical view of their role in modern life. The top panel features a silhouette of a person marveling at the novelty of a touchscreen device. In contrast, the bottom panel depicts a character resembling Pepe the Frog staring at a phone screen displaying headlines about societal collapse, economic decline, and global chaos. The image serves as a commentary on how digital consumption habits have shifted from simple utility to the constant engagement with doom-scrolling and negative news cycles.
Because internet told you and you are to retarded to check for yourself you failed abortion
The goal is to grab people's attention and hold it. Hate and doom hold people's attention especially when it blames it on people they hate.
Society is not collapsing. That is what you seem attracted to and the algorithm is feeding you the pain that you enjoy the most!
Stop doing it?
You can chose which content you consume. You have to resist and fight the algorithm and the propaganda though.
In fairness, it's not the rectangle's fault that society is collapsing...

Except society isn't collapsing, you're just falling for propaganda while the rest of society lives happy lives
Hypno-rectangle
When people warned of techbros fucking humanity and children's minds back in 2010-ish, the experts were called crazy. We had paper after paper after paper after paper stating that WE WILL GET FUCKED BY SOCIAL MEDIA, people didn't give a fuck, kept consuming, now we're all fucked.
