How Social Media Killed Romance

Romance! Is it still alive in 2025? Genuine Question. In this video, I dive into how social media turned love into content and how platforms like TikTok, Vine, and Instagram reshaped modern dating for the worse. From alpha male podcasts to cheating skits, tarot readings to 60-part breakup sagas, we explore how online culture distorted connection. Dating today is more about likes than love, and social media’s obsession with performance has left real romance behind. But is love really gone… or just harder to recognize? Part commentary, part satire, and 100% real talk — this is the modern dating postmortem. Stay grounded. Stay human. Stay weary.
