Is it just me, or when you log onto social media these days, regardless of the platform, you’re getting inundated with ads, and don’t see your friends easily? Then there’s all the AI generated photos, where if I believe everything I see, there are dogs having picnics on the moon now, and cats driving motorcycles. I long for the old days, when scrolling was simpler. So today I dedicate my song parody of INXS’ “Never Tear Us Apart,” to my fellow scrollers lost on this lonely social media highway!

Don’t ask me
What you see is true
Don’t know how to get to
See your precious posts

I…I was scrolling
You weren’t there
Too many ads now
And Bots are keeping us apart!

We could scroll
For a thousand years
But we just see posts
That outrage all our fears

They told you
To try AI
‘Cause they’re the new thing
But those pictures hurt my eyes

I…I was scrolling
You weren’t there
Too many ads now
And Bots are keeping us further apart!

I
(Don’t ask AI)
I was scrolling
(What you see is true)
You weren’t there
(Too many ads)
Way too many ads
(Were coming through)
And Bots are keeping us apart!

You
(Don’t ask AI)
You were scrolling
(Who knows if true)
I’m not there
(Too many ads)
Way too many ads
(Were coming through)
And Bots are keeping us apart!

I…I was scrolling
You weren’t there
Too many Bots now…
