In this article, the writer KB addresses the stupidity of the type of content that’s going viral on Twitter lately. This is an example of an information cascade. Tweets are considered viral when they reach about over 2,000 retweets or likes. Retweets are the equivalent of sharing something on Facebook. A user shares a tweet and all their followers can see it. Once these followers see it, they can also retweet it so their followers can see it, and so on.
Sometimes, quality content goes viral. However, Twitter has been no stranger to relationship goals Tweets that users our age love to retweet and interact with. As fall approaches, more Tweets about “fall dates” go viral, even if their content is extremely low quality, annoying and unoriginal. More specifically, with the recent release of the Netlifx movie To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, we saw the rise of Noah Centineo, who was named “the internet’s favorite boyfriend.” KB analyzes Noah Centineo’s very simple, superficial tweets and how they went viral even if they did not deserve it. Here, the information/tweets that are being cascaded are extremely pointless and obnoxious, which is what KB is telling us in the article.
