I’m using instagram to browse the discover feed mindlessly sometimes. I know, it’s stupid, but I’m bored.
At some point a short video about conspiracy showed up, so I hang in there and watched it.
After mindlessly scrolling through the feed, more and more conspiracy stuff started showing up.
Also, a few days before, the coridor crew on YT uploaded a vlog how they made a fake video go viral.
And then there’s the fuzz about the whistleblower, etc… resulting in many other YT videos referencing aliens, etc.
FWIW, I’m not actively searching for conspiracy topics, etc… it’s just that I’ve noticed a trend rising up, and I can’t be the only one, can I ?!

There is a website I like to use, News Minimalist: https://www.newsminimalist.com/
And what was striking to me is, how many articles with highest significance score were about the climate in the last few weeks. Yet barely anybody is talking about it around me, and if I do bring it up everyone is quick to complain about the protesters who block roads.
I feel pretty lost, have been for a while. My username is basically, condensing my feelings about humanity. I do hope for a better future, but I don‘t believe in it myself anymore, if that makes sense.
