"Normal people for the first time got a public podium (or they think they do) and thus behave as if the whole world is watching." I strongly object to the word "normal" here. Normies, as in the common masses you know from the real world, are nowhere to be seen on social networks. Yes, many have accounts, but they're not a force. Many post nothing or infrequently and then get a handful of likes from their 20 followers. If anything, social media promotes the abnormal. It does so by rewarding engagement, any engagement. What is reliably engaging? Triggering our brain that is hotwired to pay attention to the negative, strange, unhinged and weird. Normally, the local madman of a town (village idiot) is kept in check. Ousted, not taken seriously. Social media is basically saying, you know what...you're unhinged, but we believe you should be major. Along with some tens of thousands of others like you, you should run this entire place. The people will click, surely they do.
