What stupid thing is popular right now that shouldn't be?
Whether it's some social media platform, an idiotic fashion trend, or a detestable political movement, what current trend just needs to be over?
I'll go first: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tik-Tok, each for the own specific reasons. Facebook has ripped society apart under the guise of bringing people together. Twitter has wantonly sown disinformation. Instagram has placed unrealistic expectations on everyone and has spawned the most vile of all demons, "influencers:" those individuals who think themselves more important in society than anyone else simply because they exist and push products no one wants to buy. Lastly, while Tik-Tok has produced some very entertaining moments, on the whole it seems it's nothing more than the most ignorant of our country trying to out-stupid each other simply for "likes."
I believe social media has done more to break society and bring down the collective intelligence of the public and should rightfully be referred to as The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Now get off my lawn!
(In the interest of honesty, I've been an Instagram user since it was a legitimate forum for displaying your own photography, and I'm on Twitter solely for access to the free porn you can find there.)
