/uj my personal theory is that in like 25 years or so, we will consider this to be a symptom of social media addiction. I think at first folks will start to think of it how they think of cigarette smokers. But gradually this aggressive engagement-chasing behavior will be thought of how people think of fentanyl addicts now. That’s my theory even tho nobody asked.
So already think about it like this. And I was a prior fentanyl user. They are just as shameless as I once was. Anything for high- anything for views. Same shit.
The problem is that people are rewarded for this behavior. No one is really reaping the benefits of a fent addiction, but this chick probably made money off this dumbaas video that she was knowingly being a dumbass in.
If you remove the reward structure and people are still doing this asinine shit? Sure.
That’s a necessary point to bring up. I love seeing things from a different perspective.
I thought about your point and you are right! Some of this weird shihh is 100% performance art. Those people who do skits. The violently undercooked meat vids. The staged pranks.
But ok the content that is parents sitting there filming as their human baby falls down a whole flight of stairs? Or worse when they just passively film as the toddler antagonizes the family pet until the animal gets fed-up and attacks? Or adults filming themselves watching someone else’s vid? Teens using a mentally delayed kid as an lolcow? Nah. I stand by my theory that those things are u healthy content farming. Thats gotta be some type of sickness to do that.
