social media formula:

dumb/dumb phrased post

+

mostly fake outrage

+ outrage with identity attached (being African, considering oneself African)


framing this (dumb post) as a threat or attack or slight to collective identity of being African, framing the response posts as defending their identity


+desire for engagement and validation of others (through retweets and likes or follows or whatver)


= this nonsense

yeah I read a whole book about this so I could do this on here from memory.

you can insert any identity or any dumb post, and get the same result. man, woman, racist, non racist, gay, straight, rich, poor, blue collar, white collar, rapper, lawyer, escort, sugar baby, podcaster, it really doesn't matter.

in real life, this is just a few dumb jokes, or Meek could correct, or explain himself in real time, hopefully laugh at himself, or even admit he doesn't know much about Africa, or even apologize for sloppy phrasing

but now it's Meek Vs. Africa

in the social media world it gets turned into some kind of "flaming" or dragging

then blogs and media outlets write about it and drag it out further

it gets posted on here, instagram, and then people have to pick a side

which drags it out further

so dumb. but this our world.

I think it was a legitimate question that people are blowing up online for no reason

He's clearly asking what's the popular or most common method of streaming there to understand how they are listening

Does he, you or some others think they don’t have Apple Music or any other streaming service? :dahell:

nikka talking like he believes they all live in huts

Don’t come ruining the jokes this early in the thread with logic.
