Takeover

[Duffers]

All this.

Social media is toxic as fuck, but also can be used for good and to support people. It's the quintessential double edge sword, and I don't see how you'd solve the problems without limiting the benefits.

There's a lot of people who seem to draw their sense of self worth through their online personas and the need for attention to be seen as some kind of expert in matters they really know little about. You see it both on a micro level on this dump and and macro level on the big social media platforms. 

People want other people to think they know stuff and ask them to share their knowledge as it fluffs their egos and gives them a sense of self worth. It takes different forms, such as people who speculate wildly but try to present themselves as knowledgeable to those who flat out make shit up. You can invent as much nonsense as you want as long as you're right once (that's what Ziz was always striving for).

Same with weirdos doing podcasts who think it instantly makes them an expert.

It's everywhere online.

The internet has given everyone a voice.

Sadly most voices are worthless.

Its RIFE Frank!

Billions of people hurling their worthless opinions into the void... it's like the Franksy phone in but on a global scale.
