This social media driven crap makes me scream. A handful of idiots tweet their opinion, and major corporations think there is a groundswell of anger out there.
This behavior is known as Wagging the Dog- the lazier we get, the easier it is to do.
This is the world you created. lol. Seriously though as millennials become consumers their addiction to social media and “influencers” will see more of this stuff happening. Most people aren’t on social media. Tik tok is the candy and YouTube is their meat and potatoes. They don’t care about Facebook. Instagram still has some mindshare but it’s not where the buzz is. I’m not sure how they feel about Twitter.
Are we better off not being spoon fed by the likes of The View which would influence bored housewives who would then undermine and influence their husbands based on what Whoopi and the others said? Without balance in social media it’s going to be an echo chamber of leftist fanatics and fascists and that’ll be the driver of culture. We do not have nearly the numbers of share cultural experiences we used to with the diaspora in media with streaming services.
We’re not grown up enough to handle social media.
Seriously, I’m enraged that a handful of spoiled lefty brats get to determine what the rest of us can buy with our money.
All it takes is one person most of the time, to screw it up.
