AIBU to be sick of all the BS?

There is so much bullshit everywhere. Why does everything have to be bullshit?

I’ve more or less come off social media because it’s so full off BS, both AI-generated and being shown random accounts I’m not interested in.

BS being expected to sign up for subscriptions instead of just buying an item once.

So many people speak so much BS. People who don’t know the answer to a question and would prefer to make up a BS answer rather than just saying they don’t know.

Some people spend most of their lives bullshitting people. How sad.

I need to look for a new job, which I’m sure will involve BS somewhere along the way. That’s why I’ve been putting it off.

Why do so many people and so many things have to be full of BS? I feel like I can’t go anywhere or do anything without encountering BS.

I agree about social media, especially with the boom of AI content. But nobody is forcing anyone to engage with it. Ditto bullshitty people - just avoid them or ignore the BS?
I must say that I happily go through life without encountering much BS, and on the rare occasion I do I just ignore it. I've also managed to get several jobs without telling any lies or exaggerating my skills - it's definitely possible!

Re job hunting, the BS won’t be coming from me.

Sick of traditional celebs, too. Over them!
Shopping. Just stop asking me questions.
Things. I already own everything, thanks!
Tech… No interest. Too much bullshit…
