I agree and I also think companies will (or are) going to try more "organic" marketing by going into comments and pretending to be customers and recommend their products.
I thought about that when I went to a new hair salon and in their new customer form one of the questions was "how did you hear about us" and one of the options was Reddit.
I kind of would rather have ads if I had to because they are easier to identify. Now I can't trust people in the Reddit comments.
If it's to hang out with friends then those private karaoke rooms are a lot of fun
I just discovered Ground News. It's interesting because they rate news articles from sources based on their biases and factuality.
So for example they will post a headline and list all the news sources reporting on it and rate how left or right leaning it is overall, plus they seem to do a good job with rating how factual it is. I've found it helpful and what I was craving from the news.
This makes me think of the time I went to a haunted maze type place. The friend I was with was pretty terrified (normal reaction) and when one of the costume monsters chased her into a corner with her hiding her face and screaming, a bunch of random people started filming her and putting their phones basically in her face. I yelled at them to leave and they just started filming me.
I just imagine how many YouTube and TikTok videos we are in without us knowing.
Yes! In the spirit of posting, some of the things I'd like to see more engagement in (and I'll do my part) are television, movie, and book communities. On reddit I loved discussing the latest episodes of my favorite shows or hearing about theories in the books I'm reading.
