Do you see the man on the street Just fighting for a meal to eat You can write him off as a lunatic But it coulda been you or me

This is what I feel sometimes when I see people doing some deliberately stupid things online. They might just be too desperate to be the next viral thing, even as though it’s too stupid, in expectation to earn some money and make ends meet.

They don’t have much to lose and this seems like the only way to gain a moment of fame. But the platforms are rigged for pay to play to hell, and most get ridiculed all over the internet for it.

The restaurants making ridiculous food, people doing obvious stupid trends, streamers doing fake surprises, fake podcasts revelations, families doing awful shit to each other and so on.
