That’s the act now and think about it later, kinda thing. Most of us were trained as early as the age of 2 to 16 to not do that. But some forget the lesson or were never taught the lesson to begin with. Sad but true.
Although, there is a deceiving reason to do it. I couldn’t decide on one term that I’ve heard more than the other, so I’ll share them all.
Rage farming - deliberately creating outrage content for engagement
Performative activism - actions done more for visibility than impact
The attention economy - where virality itself has monetary value
Another that fits well is, Outrage profit.
…
This kind of act isn’t as bad if you were gonna throw your toilet away anyway. And if you got enough people to watch it on YT or now TikTok, you could in theory, make enough or more to cover the cost of the item you destroyed. Rage bait is a chronic issue online. And sadly, I spent many years exposing myself to it and not realizing that most of it was an act or the post and/or poster was orchestrating it for their interests.
He’s actually working on a video about Adobe right now. You can watch the first one and a half hours of it on his patreon. It’s a very good video so far. Can recommend
How do you know what it’s about if you’ve only seen the first 1.5hrs of it … He probably hasn’t even introduced who he actually wanted to talk about yet
reminds me of the maga crowd setting fire to their shoes, putting their razors in the toilet, and destroying their coffee machines when the brands put out “woke ads” lmao. all marketing is good marketing. free virality is every company’s dream
There’s an idea for using AI for good.
Start having Ai generated ads of things Maga likes so they end up destroying all their property.
"Introducing! The new trans-friendly AR-15! "
Owning things is so fucking woke, own the libs, rent everything from bezos
The toilet razor is amazing to me. Like, surely, he had to get that out of the toilet. So like… After the picture now what?

MAGA is such a destructive movement, they even destroy their own stuff
I wonder what hbomb is doing nowadays, cause it’s clearly not making videos anymore.

I typically enjoy the subject matter rug pull at hour 4 of his video essays. But they only really start getting good at season 3 of the same video.
Somehow I never knew all this happened.
I still don’t. What did Banner do?
