the stuff people post on Threads (I still drop in over there, despite myself) amazes me, like is this kind of argumentative, engagement-farming shit what normals have always used social media for?? and I'm the weirdo who uses social media to read the news and do activism and learn stuff?
Is that person... -down- on the trend of children who need assistive devices to see clearly getting them younger???
There are so many people in the world with -such- confusing priorities.
The vibe I got from threads was that all these instagram influencers found themselves auto-enrolled in threads, thought "Holy shit, we have to TYPE WORDS on this platform?!" and launched into long-form(ish) blogging without being at all cut out for it
Hence the reversion to the very low mean
i didn't have to go looking for this, it was all in the first four or five scrolls on my "for you" algorithm!! this is what people go on the internet to do??? rehash 50-year-old arguments about wedding gift etiquette????
Ok, those posts are both hilarious and also bizarre. What is wrong with these people? Like, tipping hairdressers has been a thing for at least 50 years!
