    We should put a 200 word cap on ktt posts tbh

    I pretty much agree, In today's digital age, the internet has become an integral part of our daily lives. It has made communication and information sharing a breeze. However, with the advent of social media platforms, people have started to share lengthy posts on the internet. These long posts can have several negative consequences, which we will discuss in this essay.

    Long posts on the internet can be dangerous in various ways. They can lead to misunderstandings, increase the spread of misinformation, and waste people's time. Additionally, lengthy posts can be overwhelming for the reader, leading to disinterest and reduced engagement.

    For example,

    • Misunderstandings: Long posts on ktt can lead to misunderstandings because the writer may not convey their message effectively. For instance, a blogger who writes a lengthy post about a controversial topic may not be able to express their views accurately, leading readers to misinterpret their ideas. This can cause confusion and even harm to the writer's reputation.

    • Spread of Misinformation: Long posts on ktt can also increase the spread of misinformation. When people share lengthy posts, they may not fact-check the information they're sharing. For example, a Facebook post that's shared extensively about a political figure may contain false information, leading people to believe in something that's not true.

    • Waste of Time: Long posts on ktt can waste people's time. With so much content available on the internet, people tend to skim through lengthy posts, missing out on important information. This can lead to a loss of interest in the topic, and people may not engage with the writer in the future.

    • Overwhelming the audience: Lengthy posts on ktt can be overwhelming for the reader. People tend to have shorter attention spans when reading online, and lengthy posts can cause fatigue and disinterest. This can lead to reduced engagement with the writer, and the writer may not be able to convey their message effectively.

    In conclusion, long posts on the internet can have several negative consequences. They can lead to misunderstandings, spread of misinformation, waste people's time, and be overwhelming for the reader. Therefore, it's essential to keep posts on ktt concise and to the point. Writers should focus on conveying their message effectively and efficiently, allowing readers to engage with their content without feeling overwhelmed.

    Frank Ocean’s headlining set from a distance seemed to be a chaotic disaster. If you were online on Sunday, you for sure saw this rage, but if you were online on Monday the day after, hoooo boy, it was the wild west out there. A legendary artist came out of hiding and confused absolutely everyone. But what exactly even happened? Because the moment the livestream was cancelled, it seemed like almost the entire internet turned on Frank Ocean. Of course, this wouldn’t even be the first time that even happened. But I’m here to defend this man and the performance he gave. I’ve been seeing the massive internet pile-on Frank Ocean received and just been getting angry over so many of these comments about how he hates his fans to how he’s washed up. Or how he was lazy. Sorry but I’m here to g-check every single one of you. Because this was actually a great set, but it was definitely for actual fans of Frank Ocean. The real heads. How do I know this? Because everyone exposes themselves when saying this was all mellow. I’ll break down the set but also address the main points of contention. Let’s back up a bit. Frank Ocean was announced as the Coachella headliner in 2020, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, that was cancelled and he was on the hook contractually to headline the festival somewhere down the line. Eventually, it was confirmed he would then headline the festival in 2023. Now ever since Blonde came out, back in 2016, we’ve had a trickle of new releases from Frank Ocean over the years. First was his was blonded radio project on Apple Music, where he premiered singles like Chanel and Calvin Harris’ Slide. It was actually quite a productive time for Frank as he was doing a lot of work, from Endless and Blonde to all these new singles. He would then go out and release a number of singles that somewhat hinted towards a new album that never materialized. He would then sporadically drop songs when a new episode of his Blonded Radio would release. Other than that, he’s been busy opening a jewelry store and his own jewelry line. He has hinted at not wanting to release a full length but then has begun hinting again that he was interested in long-form material once more. It’s been a wild ride being a Frank Ocean fan, that is for sure. Oh, and the big kicker, Frank Ocean hasn’t performed live since 2017. The expectations for this set were huge. So lets just talk about what the main problems this set had and what people took issue with.
    Gonna be completely honest here. I absolutely do not care about this and have no idea why anyone else online does either. You were not there. From the reports on the ground I heard people talk about how punishing waiting an hour was and I’ve definitely been there. I still remember waiting for artists like Travis Scott at ACL before and it happens often so its almost like a coin flip. The important thing to note is people are using this excuse for his set being cut short. And yet, Rolling Stone reports that his set actually went over time and they played more music than originally planned. So like yeah I don’t care. You also don’t see anyone whining about BlackPink and Calvin Harris being 30 minutes late (other than INSIDER) either. But yeah like how this affects anyone outside of the actual festival is just so confusing. YOU WERE NOT THERE! You were at home, watching an IG live stream or watching YouTube videos after. Cry me a river. As for those actually there, I feel them. I do. But damn that was some real tension everyone was feeling over there. Was he gonna show up? Was he going to bail? Well he showed up. You’re already there at the festival, what are you going to do, leave? Hell no! Arguably the biggest issue everyone had with the set. This is quite literally the biggest point of contention. Towards the end of the show, Frank’s band or at the very least their drummer, started to perform Nikes (the first song off Blonde). There is no question that Nikes and later Nights are possibly Frank Ocean’s most well known songs. And they are incredibly beloved pieces of music. During the show though Frank Ocean would stop performing and one of his songs would play. This happened twice, not counting the DJ rave set. The first time was after Frank and the band performed Solo. A remixed version of Chanel started to play which would lead into the DJ Set. Later after an incredible acoustic version of Self Control was played, the same happened with Nikes and Nights. Listen I’m not gonna beat around the bush on this one. This was a big miscalculation on Frank’s part on not singing some of his biggest songs. So I can definitely feel the frustration from the people who were disappointed. At the same time however, watching the video footage it almost seems like this is what Frank intended to do for this portion. Somewhere around the 3:00 minute mark, Frank Ocean turns to the mic after just vibing along to Nights and Nikes and picks it up. He had already been letting the songs play and judging from multiple video sources was enjoying the fans singing along. Frank Ocean turning and going for the microphone during Nights After listening to the fans sing, Frank shakes his head and places the mic on the stand again
    As he grabs the mic he makes this face and notices people singing, and places the mic down. I think he noticed this was more of a intimate moment for him and the fans and just decided to vibe out with everyone instead of singing live. This happens a lot in many types of shows, especially in pop and rap where the vocals are piped in. But this was the breaking point for many people in the audience and definitely for people online. Everyone was just sharing videos of Frank dancing and acting for the camera but not singing. This caused everyone to just s*** all over him and say he hates his fans so much. But upon closer inspection of the actual footage, people did seem to be having fun and no one was booing. No one even seemed remotely upset at what was transpiring in front of them. Now I think this small moment for the people in the audience was well intentioned from Frank Ocean, but he probably should have sang. At the same time, I won’t be surprised if he does the same thing next week. From conversations I’ve had with my cousin who was there and other people online, people generally were having a good time during this. There was definitely a disconnect between the performance, the fans in attendance and everyone else online. And this was just exacerbated by having no livestream and it was the end of the set. So people were furious that on top of no livestream, he didn’t sing Nikes, Nights or Chanel. Which caused the widespread hyperbole that Frank Ocean did not sing at all during his show. Despite how strong the show started and its adventurous experimental rave set, if you don’t send people home happy it could potentially ruin the entire evening for many. Was it disappointing? For sure, and he could’ve saved the whole thing if he had sang these, but hindsight is 20/20. I’m sorry but this one was some ridiculous projection. Just because the guy was sitting down most of the time, and then dared to not sing his big songs at the end did not mean he didn’t want to be there. In fact, it looked like he was having fun on stage. He even said that he was having fun while acknowledging the chaos of his own show. He was jumping around, dancing a bit, laughing it up, talking to the fans and more. People point to how he didn’t apologize for being late, when was the last time you saw anyone apologize for being late. Like honestly, be for real. When he did talk to the audience he gave a heartfelt story about the real reason he was playing Coachella (it was for his brother) and even explained why he had a DJ set. You can’t tell me the smiles of this guy were fake or disingenuous. I also feel like this was just generally people saying this because he was only playing mellower songs. I just don’t think people online have ever listened to Frank Ocean outside of his singles. Started to see the real reason people online were upset was because they just didn’t want to listen or watch these intimate performances and wanted something more along the lines of a Bad Bunny set where he’s just playing the hits. You were never going to get that. The entitlement people have over a concert they didn’t even pay for is ridiculous. The fans who were there had a much different story to tell though from the online conversation: It was difficult to see Frank Ocean outside of the main screen

    nah it's poorly written mostly. also he doesn't even know the topic he's covering

    like he said that things became shaky only after Blonde and Frank cancelled "dozens" of shows after its release, which is not true and in reality he cancelled way more shows during Nostalgia Ultra / Channel Orange era. the writer basically making things up just to fit his own picture, zero research done or whatsoever

    only performance coverage was relatively on point
