Is making things up now part of social media content creation?

[Tamuramaro]

Sometimes you read something on social media posted as a story or a screenshot of DMs, and you start to wonder whether what is being said actually took place or it's basically someone just trying to gain attention from made-up things. Has anyone noticed what I am talmbout?

You gotta blame it on the culture of over-posting or oversharing.

Well, in this day and age, social media platforms have become the new church pulpit, the new soapbox, and the new megaphone, all rolled into one. With the ability to reach billions, the power of spreading information has never been greater.

False information has been around since the invention of words. But with the rise of social media, it's become easier to spread false information to a massive audience. The consequences are dire: spreading misinformation, promoting hate speech, and creating echo chambers.

But let's not forget, making things up can also be a form of creative expression. It can be used to entertain, make a point, or satirize current events. For example, YouTubers have been doing it for years with their storytime topics. But the line between creative expression and spreading false information is a thin one.

You gotta blame it on the culture of over-posting or oversharing.

Exactly, after one has posted all kinds of thirst traps from all angles they are eventually bound to reach a point in time when the engagement starts to fall gradually because the thirsty simps will now be paying attention to a hot new young babe on "teh internetz".
