Remember that girl?
Yeah.
And it was like this evil woman takes a selfie at this point.
And it was like some teenage girl or young woman or something.
And there would be like manufactured outrage.
But like you said, Ryan, it was like this idea of like, well, you docky, you put your, you know, you took a selfie and posted it.
Like you, you know, you're sort of like ripe for the taking, which feels that way about Twitter too.
It's like you posted that you had coffee in your garden.
Yeah, I feel like I used to have to like explain these things.
And I mean, I also just don't know if it's just not my job anymore.
And I thankfully don't work at like the New York Times where I have to like do a write up about the latest online, you know, blah, blah, blah.
It just feels pointless.
I also think that the Internet is fractured a lot.
I mean, especially in the past year or so.
people are spending time in sort of different spaces and even on the same platforms it's like so algorithm centric i think of this because like i am constantly the main character on threads instagram threads like my name has been trending on threads like probably 10 times this year
That's exactly my point, Ryan, is that there's almost no one on that social.
It's like people that don't really post or engage in discourse are on that social network.
And so like if a journalist comes in and like post something that they're mad at or put whatever, like or, you know, like blue sky will have its own main character, like these niche people.
you know, corners of TikTok.
I think that the internet is very fractured now.
