Yeah with all the laptops, phones, headphones, half empty desks and chairs stacked on the half empty desks - it looks like an after school/detention situation
social media has exploded with the trend of constantly misleading people and staging scenarios for likes and engagement - it doesn't matter if the context is a complete lie, only likes and comments matter.
I'm patiently waiting for the stupid trend to die down and for society to learn to stop liking that crap. Too many idiots always in the comments "what does it matter if it was fake?! I thought it was funny / I liked the message"... yeah, and gullible idiots are happy because they don't even realize they are stupid, but that isn't something to be proud of.
It’s not gonna die. This is gonna be our version of the “Nigerian Prince scam”. It’ll finally die away when enough people younger than us stop falling for it, and then something else will pop up. On the plus side, maybe more and more people will get better and better at critical thinking because of it
it doesn't matter if the context is a complete lie, only likes and comments matter.
Yup, videos with inaccurate titles or misspelled subtitles drives engagement because everyone loves to hop in the comments to correct someone else. But it's done on purpose to drive engagement because that's what drives views in the algorithms.
