    Completely agree. Not only is it disturbing how little people care, but there’s a far bigger picture.

    Right now it’s celebrities shilling products. What happens when it’s political figures? What happens when the messages spread misinformation or violence?

    It doesn’t matter whether or not you fall for it as an individual. It will impact society. Full stop.

    People need to be more understanding and compassionate. If you know so much and are so great at identifying these things and so technologically savvy, help educate those around you. Vote in every election, including local elections, to vote into power people who understand these issues and will act on the best interest of the people.
