This harkens back to what MasPan said about it blowing up on social media: you can clearly tell who actually cares and is posting the video with 100% intentions of spreading the word (usually based on the person's background in social work, such as one of my friends who first posted the video and has worked to end human rights violations in Africa), versus people resharing it because it's "getting big" (such as people who post it with the comments "This is blowing up right now. Take 30 min and watch this video, it will change your life. TOGETHER, we can CHANGE THE WORLD."). You're clearly not trying to change the world because you now all of a sudden give a pomegranate about something because your 10 besties do, and you want to seem cultured and caring.
This is the kind of person I had completely forgotten about when I made that post. I understand where your and Maspan's frustrations come from much better now.
