I watched the ‘documentary’ last night and I thought it was bizarre and poorly done. I didn’t know of these 2 people nor GK but I found it rather intense to only showcase death related cases.
Re the guy, I do believe the thread should have been shut down when his social media was purely about his illness - as much as I enjoy tattle, good banter, and detective work revealing the commercially deceptive manoeuvre of many influencers, I don’t like the crazy violent and obscure comments some seem to post. Edited or not, the sentiment was there.
Of course a lot of z-list influencers will jump on that wagon - to be honest I’m sure many of them would love to have a thread as it would suggest they’ve made it and they’re now worth talking about!
The woman who lost her teen daughter was astonishingly blaming tattle for her choice of lifestyle and the consequences that may come with it.
I also thought their obsession with the owner of the site was unjustified and there for a bit of sensationalism. The music, the shots by the parents house, all of it was ridiculous.
Imagine trying to hunt down Zuckerberg because someone criticised your Facebook marketplace acct - because let’s not forget they’re all selling something!
Anyway, I thought it was a missed opportunity to highlight the dangers of social media and usage of children for content because tattle or not, there are other sites and always will be, and even without websites people can still TALK.
