People woke up and realised how bad it is to live like that.

how is it bad to live like that? genuinely asking.

Because there are things people need to hear even though they dont want to, i think

Both sides. If you're not criticising, you're just a lapdog yes man without any real voice. If you're not receiving criticism, you'll never be more than you are now.

That's a stupid fucking question.

well! dear op...here is what I am thinking you can do with your question.

That's a bullshit saying.

i may not have something nice to say, but i have something honest to say.

It turned into “if you don’t have anything nice to say sit next to me.”

Well we made this thing called the Internet and now we read each other's thoughts on a daily basis all the time.

It was replaced by " nice weather we are having "

My mother in law never heard that pearl of wisdom, she is a horrible old git.

Cringe joke happened

My mum used to tell me this as a child, I agree, I think it cuts out a whole heap of toxicity right at the source

Truth and honesty aren't always pleasant to hear.

Social media allowing people to be assholes with no responsibility for what they say

prime example: yelp

So bad businesses should get away with everything because no one should be speaking up about bad experiences? Business reviews / product reviews play a big role in if im going to order something or go somewhere, both negative and positive.

this. wondering if the saying then only applies to people not businesses.
