Honestly, it's not a bad thing. People were used to believe every single thing they saw. Now they are forced to verify information or least stop and think if it's true.
Except most people can't be bothered to verify anything. They see a video on Ticktok and assume it is true
Too true.
See it here daily. Some Xitter fool gets screen capped saying “world tallest cat measured in Beijing at 6 feet tall”
… first. 5 comments “wow!” “That’s huge” “he’s taller than me ! “. “So cute “
The next 5 are like “fuck the chinese and their cat steroids”
Finally, some hours later, someone observes that it was a line from futurama, 6 years ago” ….but it doesn’t matter now, because everyone has moved on with their day, telling people about the huge cats in china
