      Most of what I’ve seen in the news so far is due to content based on shitposts from reddit, which is even funnier imo

        I do dislike when the “actual news” starts bringing up social media reactions. Can you imagine a whole show based on the Twitter burns of this week? … it would probably be very popular. 😭

      Absolutely. I wrote about this a while back in an essay:

      Prime and Mash / Kuru

      Basically likening it to a prion disease like Kuru, which humans get from eating the infected brains of other humans.
