Something is broken when the biggest, most viral tweets are people pretending to be dumber than they are to bait a thousand angry replies. The platform pays out for it. Obviously wrong or manufactured takes pull a million views because the system cannot tell rage from interest. Social media platforms have built machines that reward attention seeking above everything else. The shortcut to growth, for a person or a brand, is now just doing the dumbest thing possible on purpose. Society is cooked.
