Social media is a double-edged sword. It can bring people together, spread awareness, and create global connections. But it’s also good to know that it’s also the breeding ground of very weird trends that will make you question humanity. In this article, we’ll explore five social media trends that leave us questioning humanity.
Selfie Obsession
In the digital world, where taking the right picture is more important than anything else, the selfie obsession has taken over the precedence of simply enjoying the moment. It’s like we’ve forgotten how to live life without the front-facing camera.
Viral Challenges Gone Wrong
There are so many viral challenges online that leave us saying wtf multiple times a day. Some range from very gross to very outrageous. It’s as if humanity has developed a fascination with testing the limits of common sense.
Cancel Culture
This is another trend that partially makes sense to me and also partially doesn’t. While holding people accountable is great, the rise of cancel culture on social media can feel like an overly aggressive and unforgiving trend.
Influencer Oversaturation
The number of self-proclaimed influencers promoting products they may not even use themselves makes us question the authenticity of the influencer marketing industry.
Social Media Parenting
Parents oversharing their children’s lives online can be invasive and potentially harm their children’s privacy. This trend blurs the line between sharing the joys of childhood and exploiting innocence.
