Social media is an endlessly droll cocktail party. People hiding under their best veneer and the mercenaries swarming around them hoping to be noticed. Watch-me dancers and the idiot that thinks wearing the lampshade as a hat is funny multiplied to infinity. Histrionic reactions to things that don’t deserve attention just to make conversation. And the same vapid conversations over and over and over. People making brilliant observations they just overheard. This weasels that are just there to network. The ones there because their friends dragged them along. The ones there for FOMO. The ones petting the cat in the corner just wanting to leave. Etc., etc..
