It always amuses/scares me how much of a separation there is between people who think and people who just parrot others. The people in that video just copied what they saw people commenting on twitter. It’s ok though, they have nice looks and voices and it’s impolite to call them idiots.
It’s how we end up with eggcorns. People just say things without understanding what it is they’re saying.
When your words don’t have to adhere to reality, you can end up saying some ridiculous things, and the other parrots in the room will nod and agree with you.
