I'd have to wonder what boomers as kids would be seen as if they had social media back then. I really think a whole lot of this "they want to be lazy youtubers" comes from the mere presence of it. Everyone's under a microscope today unlike even 20 years ago, so a lot of the people who live within their means, work, and are responsible get more intensely studied. It's not laziness that causes people to speak up, it's noticing how the ceiling has gotten lower each decade and it's closer to crushing us. That's why birthrates are dropping and plans for kids are plummeting for younger generations too. You can work like hell but there is not always upward like promised for doing so. People stay in positions further up the ladder, and companies don't give raises like they used to. The labor market is too tight to leave and find better on a whim, and people migrating to the next best paying job is what keeps retail and low level jobs open constantly since those in the actual good paying jobs are staying in longer with retirement getting later.
Of course it can be read as excuses and victimization but that's not what the message is, it's simply stating today's world is different than it was 40 years ago, and it's much harder today than it was in the past, but something can be done about it.
