The same is true on the internet. Did anyone ever really care about making the ‘First’ comment? Maybe your tweets are insightful, or maybe you tweeted a joke you heard for some likes? If likes are your thing, then the top comment on any Humans Of New York thread is 99.99999% the most saccharine comment posted purely for the 55 THOUSAND likes it’ll rack up in a matter of minutes (For balance: the comments are a brief respite from the nightmare that the internet is.) Groupthink, herd mentality, even bullying is based on not wanting to be the one kid who isn’t laughing at the victim, lest you become the next victim. Don’t be fooled, even the person that says they hate people, only says that because they resent not being part of the group. Everyone wants to be a part of the crowd.
