The Internet is completely unusuable when petty content is promoted

1•VitaSetLLC•2h ago
Not a day goes by without someone opening a social media website and seeing an unending sludge of petty content.

Social Media would sooner show someone a video about how The War of the Bucket was necessary (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Bucket) than say the history of the fine arts.

This is because petty content gets users to stay on sites longer despite the users feeling as though something is wrong but they can't identify it, so they keep using the sites.

For example: I want to speak with real people and see meaningful content, not bots waiting to mention that I made a typo, therefore I'm wrong, just to get users to stay on sites longer.

I am also ashamed of Ukrainians beating up Russians who live in Ukraine all because they can't pronounce the word "Паляниця", meaning strawberry in Ukrainian.

It's not like they called you a slur, no, its all because they can't pronounce the word "strawberry" in Ukrainian. Gosh, the pettiness.

I am also Ukrainian, but I do not support violence, especially violence caused by pettiness.

Edit:

It's not like they called you a slur. Just because two States are fighting doesn't mean that a Ukrainian civilian living in Ukraine has to beat up a Russian civilian living in Ukraine because they can't pronounce a Ukrainian word.

I am also Ukrainian, but I do not want my ethnicity to be known for petty violence.
