I don't even care that much, it's just like, wtf.

Is anything on this damn internet real anymore?

It is theoretically possible that the Internet bubble isn't just a collection of people that like a cult believe something outrageous; it is possible that all the content you consume on social media is literally tailored specifically for you with nobody else ever seeing that content. All the comments could be fake. All the content could be fake and you would never know, unless you actively searched for it (which means you first need to have some awareness of how dystopian it can get).

Start your searches, and the algo readjusts.... What is real anymore?
