X is relentlessly spamming me with this guy cheating at the coldplay concert

not kidding i don't think my feed has been this dominated since the sam altman vs. board saga

the amount of interest i have in seeing this content could not be lower

it has all of the ingredients for a super potent meme

what are those ingredients from your perspective?

natural for people to want the ‘other’ to fail. and if that other is a top the totem pole type and a semi public figure, people salivate. add to it that it is somewhat humorous, could have been avoided, at a cold play concert, the insider next to them.. everything just screams virality.

in an ideal world, we don’t care. or at least we don’t salivate. but that’s human nature.

thanks for the breakdown

it’s interesting, sometimes I understand the wishing we didn’t care but it’s human nature thing, for example for me I don’t want so much short form video on my X feed but I probably do tend to spend time on them

but this one it’s just kinda sad to me that this is what goes so viral

remember the billionaire submarine tragedy? lots of the same can be seen here, unfortunately.
