Influencer Highlights Decline in Online Manners

Online Manners: A Generation Gap? British influencer Sophie Milner (@itssophiemilner) recently shared her frustration with the decline of politeness in online interactions. In a short video, Milner recounts how requests for product information used to be far more polite, often including "please" and "thank you." "People were so respectful," she recalls. However, today's requests are often blunt and lacking in basic courtesy. Milner's video highlights a growing concern among online creators about the changing dynamics of online communication. The lack of basic politeness has prompted her to create a personal policy of not responding to impolite requests. Milner's experience reflects a broader societal shift in online behavior, raising questions about the impact of social media on communication etiquette. The video serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining respectful interactions in the digital world.
