  Oh shut up. Like your own existence is well worth the trouble
context: This on struck me as super awful: 
  Two young men died in the Ural Mountains after they pulled the pin from a live hand grenade to take a selfie. The phone with the picture remained as evidence of the circumstance of their deaths. >
  
  He died doing what he loved to do. >
  
  Being a narcissistic douche. >
  
  Its pretty sad and completely unnecessary. I just don’t get why people would risk life and limbs just for a few upvotes / likes on social media >
  
  Everyone thinks they have an adequate assessment of danger and risk. No one really thinks they're risking life and limb.
  And most humans are incredibly driven to feel liked and admired. Whether that's through social media; their looks; owning status symbols; being successful; getting upvotes; etc. >
  
  Anybody know where to find the video? r/WinStupidPrizes needs more content >
  
  I'll say it again, Tiktok is all that is wrong with social media. 
  It is the absolute abandonment of reasonable thought in order to portray yourself as a celebrity. >
  
  It's the people not the app >
  
  Really the only proper answer imho. 
  Instead of quitting social media, I post positive content that I hope lifts up those around me. It’s been well received by friends and family.
  Blaming everything on the Algorithm is being willfully ignorant. And I’m not trying to fully downplay the algorithm, because it is designed to keep us all at each others throats to an extent. Or at least foster disputes. 
  But we can rise above it. We can be good neighbors and positive members of our community. It is still a choice. 
  Believing anything less is essentially abdicating responsibility for a better society. >
  
  Contrary to some other social media, you can train the tiktok algorithm to cut the bullshit and show you things you want to see, which could be positive content only if you want. I opened reddit yesterday and the first post in my feed is a suicide note from what I presume to be a now dead person. >
  
  Yeah. Some subreddits I keep to stay a little informed or whatever, but I have shed a bunch that kind of made me more frustrated than I wanted to be.
  If all someone on Facebook does is share political memes or rant on politics I usually just unfollow them and they are still a friend, but my news feed is more positive. 
  Takes a bit of work and it isn’t a 100%, but it’s better. >
  
  Bound to happen at some point,  fuck around and find out. >
  
  Ah, natural selection at work >
  
  Charlie got another one. >
  
  I'm not sure what side should I be on:
  Users of tiktok getting hurt or dying
  Or
  Creators getting hurt or dying because if there are no more creators, users will also not exist...
  Basically tiktok needs to go, either of the two ways above I don't mind >
  
  It's just not Tik Tok, IG as well. The internal redearch on IG is absolutely awful >
  
  One less idiot using up precious resources
