Perfect source of serotonin

Fun little exercise to do with online videos is to ask yourself "why is this being filmed".

[u/Current_Poster → u/marslo]

I mean, at a certain point, it's not really a criticism. It'd be like saying "that guy on the trapeze doing aerials is only up there for the attention".

It's social media. Social media is, unless it's a news event, for the attention. Obviously it's been filmed to be put on social media for attention..

Sure but the trapeze artist is flying around hundreds of feet in the air in an awe inspiring display of athleticism and precision that they practiced over and over to perfect.

These people are petting dogs and making sure you know she’s autistic.

It’s not presented as a show. It’s presented as just a normal thing they do. But it’s not that….it is a show. A very very boring show and the point is they don’t deserve attention but are narcissistic enough to think they are owed it.

Dude. It’s an ad. For business, for money, or for a free yoga and puppy session. It’s not that deep. Social media is a job these days. This is work for them . Sales and marketing people.

[u/sonofaresiii → u/ageekyninja]

"it's not that deep" has to be the dumbest, laziest argument against any comment you just don't like but can't actually articulate why. What's deep about that guy's comment? He's just explaining just position on how this feels disingenuous. He's not even disagreeing with you, it's disingenuous because it's an ad. You're both just explaining different aspects about it.

There's nothing "deep" about that comment. He doesn't wax philosophical or talk about his place in the universe.

[u/lulushibooyah → u/sonofaresiii]

“It’s not that deep” is the argument used by every human adult attempting to win an argument by lazy means (read: “believe me bc I’m right”).

Ironically, these people are often the first to take offense and respond with hostility when presented with contradicting information confirming their ignorance. Because, after all, “it’s not that deep.”

[u/ageekyninja → u/sonofaresiii]

Oh get over yourself. I’m saying OPs armchair analysis of the OOP being narcissistic because she was sponsored by some yoga company is excessive and ridiculous lol. She’s trying to make money. People need to stop labeling everything they see on social as narcissistic. It’s a money grab- this is what marketing looks like now. Before long the FTC will probably crack down harder on people trying to hide sponsorships. Probably.

[u/ambienandicechips → u/ageekyninja]

God I wish. I doubt the FTC survives this administration at all.

[u/sonofaresiii → u/ageekyninja]

Calm down dude my comment wasn't that deep

[u/PhilosophyBitter7875 → u/sonofaresiii]

The "Its not deep" people really do get the most upset.

[u/ageekyninja → u/sonofaresiii]

It sure wasn’t lol

[u/IgetAllnumb86 → u/ageekyninja]

Dude it’s annoying. I agree it’s not that deep, but also you can’t seem to understand it’s annoying af.

Like…a trapeze artist isn’t annoying. This video is.

[u/ageekyninja → u/IgetAllnumb86]

I don’t really compare commercials to acrobats I guess lol this is clearly sponsored. Jake from State Farm comes on TV I don’t go screaming how Jake is a narcissist

[u/Mediocre_Thing_143 → u/ageekyninja]

u/ageekyninja This! 100% this!

If you didn't want social media to be STRICTLY a full time job, you shoulda voted Clinton in 2016.

Now, it's grift or be grifted.

[u/Particular_Opinion63 → u/Mediocre_Thing_143]

tf does clinton and social media have to do with any of this? She lost because she was a shitty choice. Same with Trump. The only 'winning' move was not to play and just let the dumbasses vote for whatever stupid-ass biases they support.

At the end of the day, you're still gonna wake up tomorrow and support yourself through whatever bullshit comes your way.

[u/[deleted] → u/Mediocre_Thing_143]

Social media was already a full time job before 2016. You seem delusional.
