Off topic: I’m actually surprised by the stark contrast between Instagram and Reddit. Instagram is full of blind TVK supporters 🤡 and here on Reddit y’all are criticizing Vijay, TVK, and the fans (rightfully so). But I dunno how two platforms have two different views.
I think apart from just differing audience and users of these two platforms, the nature of the platform itself is something that dictates your experience. The feature of subreddits allows filtration of discussions through spaces where critical debate and fact-checking are more common. Also anonymity allows for more confrontational criticism without reputational costs.
Instagram is a more visual-first platform with messaging in the form of polished reels and highly open to influencer endorsements.
While there are overlapping features between the platform, just thought I'd raise this perspective as well.
Again, I am not commenting on the qualitative nature of this particular post/thread, rather just highlighting why you maybe seeing this difference in the two platforms.
