Are you on Facebook? Do you get curious and read post comments? Do you read comments for ads, aka sponsored posts?
I like reading comments, because I want to know what other people think. Unfortunately, I also almost instantly regret the train wreck. Social media gives people a voice, but in exchange many people switch off their brains. Non-substantive, incoherent, and irrelevant posts usually get points deducted in my line of work!
I'm sometimes curious about products being sold. You usually see them as sponsored posts. It sounds more innocuous, doesn't it, to still call them "posts?" I'm curious because they tend to be unusual products and the posts can be pretty slick. But that's not my pet peeve. What I don't get is all the comments!
Are these people for real? Can't they read? Are they real people who post for the world to see how stupid they are? Are they fake profiles that the advertisers have created just to inflate engagement? Why don't they create intelligent fake people? Is it because they think they should lower the IQ of their fake fans to appeal to the masses? I weep for humanity's future.
So, reader, I am asking for your stories. What have you read that have made you go "huh" or "aaarrggghhhhh!!!!!!!"?
As always, please keep it civil and relevant. I promise I will refrain from commenting on your experience, but I might be curious enough to ask questions to better understand your story.
