A few notes.
The reason many of these seem like they're written by a 13 year old, are because they were. Many other replies are bots. Indeed two of the profiles you highlighted were bot accounts operated by the same individual who wrote the original post.
It should be noted that there's only really 2 types of people actively engaging on twitter (as with all social media platforms). Those who are trying to self you something, and social outcasts.
If you self describe as belonging to red pills, alphas, woke movement, one of the political "wings" or some kind of ideology you are in the latter group. I understand that's going to annoy lots of people, but truth can sometimes be a hard pill to swallow. Perhaps learn some social skills and you won't need to hang out on platforms designed to manipulate your emotions and sell you things you don't need.
There are far too many people, particularly in the under 30 population segment who simply don't possess adequate social skills.
People are not their immutable traits. Women are not a collective. Trying to say that people with a particular immutable trait, be it gender, sex, race, ability, or otherwise is the same behaviour you're criticising these tweets for.
People are individuals. Individuals don't agree. One individual does not speak for all people who share a particular trait. Some individuals are independent, some are not. Some individuals are intelligent, most are not. And believe it or not, for some individuals the shitty lines in these tweets will work on them, even though for most it won't. Their tactic is volume, ask enough people anything and eventually you'll get someone who says yes. It's like a letterbox drop.
Individuals take different strategies to mating dependent on their individual circumstances. Those circumstances include level of physical attractiveness, mental/emotional capacity, personality type and social intelligence. But they also include external factors like social environment, available opportunities to meet new eligible potential mates, cultural attitudes, etc
Clearly the strategies deployed in a small town with a few hundred people will be vastly different than those deployed in a city the size of Tokyo. Likewise the strategies taken online are going to be different than those in person.
The workplace is where a significant number of couples meet. This is particularly true for people who work long hours &/or perform shift work. When not the workplace, people tend to meet their long-term spouses in educational environments, hobby groups, or engaging in neutral activities such as in retail outlets, grocery stories or libraries. Combined these places account for the majority of environments where couples meet.
There isn't anything creepy in and of itself finding a partner in any of these environments. Persisting with unwanted attention however is another matter, but that's independent of the environment in which it occurs.
Overall I found this video to be more creepy than the tweets it's criticising. The amount of mansplaining of strawman arguments was insane.

O.o
Usually you are funny. This just came off as an ignorant generational attack lacking insight or reference experience.
First thing to note is people born in the mid 60s through to early 80s are Gen X. Boomers were born prominently in the 40s and 50s, but extend into early 60s. The youngest boomers are 55, people in their 40s aren't boomers they're Gen X.
The majority of the comments you showed came from people in their late 30s through early 50s. Gen X in other words, not boomers. I'm not sure how many 70 year olds there are interested in running Instagram meme accounts.
A meme account attempts to spray as much random stuff as possible to catch as many likes as possible. I don't think there are any meme accounts that are consistent in their messaging. Making a "joke" about that inconsistency pointed at a particular generation as if only they do it when all accounts in that category behave in such a manner is dishonest.
You started off the video saying you weren't going to attack the desire to be nostalgic because everyone regardless of generation has such a desire; only to immediately attack the desire to be nostalgic.
And it seems like your only real attack was "oh but you did a racism".
There was lower crime
But you did a racism
There were fewer people
But you did a racism
Society was more homogeneous and united
But you did a racism
Literally created the internet that enables you to live off making videos
But you did a racism
People were polite to one another, and considered each others opinions as opposed to living in an echo chamber that literally and genuinely threatens to crumble society
But you did a racism.
Housing prices were affordable
But you did a racism
And also it must be all the boomers fault for buying their houses that people can't afford houses anymore and not a complex multi factor economic problem involving a corrupt international banking system, inflation, international investments, immigration and natural population growth, state land use availability and construction regulations, environmental regulations, high wages in trades due to qualified shortages because millennials and zoomers think everyone has to go to university, reduced economic mobility and a million other factors. You know, all the stuff these memes were talking about things were better without..
This was a very unfortunate video that came off as lazy and desperate. I look forward to you returning to your regular quality

The inflated menu item prices in app are done by the restaurant themselves to cover the cost of packaging and the fee from the app.
A restaurant isn't going to continue using a service if it's losing them money, because if they did that restaurant wouldn't exist much longer. You, the customer, are paying their delivery costs.
You the customer are also paying a delivery cost to use the app, another for the driver and if you live in the USA where tipping in a thing, another fee because your driver is begging for cash.
Drivers don't have it anywhere near as bad as they make out. Let's be clear, just like a restaurant isn't going to continue using a service if they make a loss, a driver isn't going to continue providing a service if they make a loss. Remember, these apps are a market platform like eBay. They aren't intended as a full-time income, they're a supplemental income in addition to an actual job. If you're looking for an actual job, these apps arent that.
If you're unemployable because of a lack of marketable skills, you can't complain you don't make enough money. That's on you for failing to up skill.
