@larikontula's post on Artfol
Feel free to skip this.
Being online used to be good and now it's horrible.
(Not Artfol, other apps.)
Shock content is poured at me for monetary gain.
Content warning, trigger warning, would I ever actively search for a video of a man almost getting his leg bit by an alligator, a dad reflex vid of toddler almost getting hit by a car, a blue baby child getting cpr, a real mother whose real son is in a coma in a hospital bed, etc?
No, I wouldn't, and if anyone asked me, I wouldn't want to see it. This is not me scrolling TikTok. This is Facebook and Instagram.
I really really really should find some setting that forbids autoplaying videos.
Tired.
I know this is a negative post and so are my honest real emotions about this emotionally manipulative trend that shows no signs of slowing down.Aug 1, 2023

You're Damn right! I created a Twitter account and everytime I connect, most of the time it's about people's fight, agressions, violence. I just deleted the account and uninstalled Twitter for a moment, give me a break
