You can publish your own special brand of bias or fakery in a click, influencing perceptions and asking crowds to follow (it's never a crowd, just one lonely soul at a time clicking randomly), while you applaud rising popularity. It can be quite the ego trip. We understand fakery because we know how to manufacture it. Fake news has helped erode trust and we have an eye out for false information, coupled with a sense of disbelief (hopefully), created to distance ourselves from the ugly and the ridiculous.
Now I'm asking you to suspend disbelief, and disengage from the Hollywood drivel (think horror, thrillers, and gory titillation) that preys on your adrenals. Mark absent everything Netflix, TikTok and YouTube spew, just for a moment.
