There's currently a 9 page thread full of people debating a fake quote from a video they didn't bother to watch. A big reason why fake news and misinformation continues to be a problem is because people don't bother to check on what they're commenting on. They see a Click baiting headline and then they go off. It's not just the coli, it's social media in general. Smart people, dumb people, everyone is guilty of it. If you're gonna comment on something, just put in a little bit of time and effort to make sure it was actually written or said.

And don't make the excuse that you don't have time to watch the video or read the article that you're commenting on. If you have time to write an essay, you have time to watch and read.

Really I wish mods would put @BrothaZay on timeout for that.

In this age of misinformation, this stuff ain't cool. And yeah it's "just about a rapper"... but still.

Maybe back in the day this type of stuff was funny when everybody was still young. Nowadays after seeing where ppl making up a lie and folks believing it can get you...

This junk ain't funny no more.

Can't cause physical harm to a black man if the man driving the truck ain't black

If Im arguing with someone, you cant blame anyone but myself unfortunately. Thats a choice Im making. We cant complain about the nature of things we voluntarily and intentionally place ourselves in. The easy way to not have this experience is to not use social media. The only thing more annoying than social media, are people who live on social media and complain about it. I dont use Twitter, IG, FB, none of it. Cause I know better. Its annoying. Not going to annoy myself.
