Then I looked at the comments of many of these videos and it became clear that the issue was widespread. Here are comments I saw on the gore videos:
And people fucking commented on them, rather than just closing the app and doing something else with their life?
What is wrong with people? Has Instagram really got people so well trained they will just sit there and watch people dying out of habit?
It’s straight up weaponized dopamine loops, it’s REALLY hard to stop.
Have my 6376th up vote tonight.
Thank you, I shall add this to my wall of a thousand upvotes.
Yeah so funnily enough I just checked IG reels and saw one where about four people get shot. There was a “sensitive content” screen over it but that’s it. Postmodern complaint: I’m just glad it wasn’t someone getting sucked into an escalator, those are freaky.
You’ve piqued my curiosity: how does one even get sucked into an escalator? What’s gotta happen to make that work???
It’s always at the bottom or top right where you’d step off and you just watch the person’s shoe suddenly disappear, and then they disappear. I believe it’s a shoelace or loose/flexible shoes that get pulled into the machinery and belts where the surface flattens out and goes back under the floor.
Interesting. I get that this is a pretty morbid line of thought, but I’d kinda just assumed that the amount of force required to crush a person like that would be more than enough to just… rip off a foot or the limb or whatever and still leave enough of a person left over to survive…? At least, assuming bystanders were quick enough to stop the bleeding. idk…
That comment came from a child, sounds like my 10-yo making shit up. Worst case, the very worst, is you lose a solid chunk of foot, and that’s so rare as to not worry about.
Think on it. If that thing starts eating you from the toes up, you’re going to pull free before it gets much in there, even if “pulling free” means no more toes.
I did hear the Crocs are bad on escalators. 🤷 I could see something heavy like combat boots sucking more in, but those are the kinda shoes that don’t get sucked in.
Sometimes I really forget that Instagram exists.
What a great day for not having mainstream social media.
Man, Meta sure is having a lot of “errors” lately…
Waiting for a youtube iceberg video to mention this incident
U chose to click the show content button keep scrolling and shut the fuck up.
Careful guys someone didn’t get their cheerios this morning, he’s extra cranky
They’re a journalist, it’s kinda their job to investigate.
