There is an apparent confidence that people seem to exude on social media, where opinions are recklessly shared.
On these platforms, ignorant and harmful opinions make for bestselling fictional stories while destroying people in real life. “Storytime”, which has become a favourite thing to do by many content creators, shows that some storytellers on social media can be entertaining. Others, however, are just downright mean.
The audience, nevertheless, gets hooked because of how good, dramatic, or crazy the stories sound. Some are made-up tales, others not. The intention of it all is to get eyes on the story and to do that, the story needs overly exaggerated details that come in the form of lies.
