i mean same could be said for twitch. there’s not really any reason for nick to be botting anyways, you can see his fanbase is as big on platforms that don’t censor his viewpoints like facebook & ig

Incoming “I ain’t reading all that” post, but I really wonder what kind of impact the Internet/social media is having on people’s state of minds nowadays, and for future generations.

Assassinations and attempts are instantly turned into memes or rage bait for reactions and internet points. This isn’t a right or left issue either, both sides do this. When Paul Pelosi or Melissa Hartman were attacked the far right cracked jokes. The far left was upset that Trump survived and celebrated Kirk’s death. Luigi was made into an icon in a surprisingly nearly bipartisan fashion.

There is a known copycat effect when celebrities commit suicide, to the point where the media handles that with delicacy to avoid causing it. I think the same thing occurs with other events, say mass shootings, where the fact that the idea is there and prevalent can influence dangerous people. And I think the internet’s reaction to not just this particular incident but the last few are really kinda dangerous. And again, not just the right or left.

Celebrating a murderer or making light of the killing I think gives these people on the edge a motivation where they can mean something. More so than a mass shooting, where they become known and hated. With this, they’ll be at the least acknowledged and at the most praised by the little anonymous Twitter accounts and edge lord streamers.

My concern is that we’ll have far left lunatics who see the celebratory Tik toks and the “he was a piece of s*** rest in piss” tweets who know they’ll get their 15 minutes of fame for doing the same. Or far right lunatics who see this as the start of a war, who know that if they take out some notable left wing politician they’ll be seen as heroes by the far right.

I don’t know, I think society is just kinda f***ed for the foreseeable future. I don’t see how we get any better. Notoriety is the quickest way to celebrity nowadays, good takes don’t get the algorithm working.
