I definitely agree with the "hive mind" thing on FB and in comment sections of Youtube/news websites where blatantly wrong and opinionated bollocks gets hundreds of likes/thumbs up. The wrongness itself only bothers me slightly, the fact that so many others have agreed, and on top of that the hangers on who will have also done so only because they want to be "one of the group", annoys me much more though. A second of independent thought is all it takes. Hive mind examples that made me particularly apoplectic with rage:
Jeremy Clarkson made some off-hand comment about people on strike facing the bullet a few years back. He is someone known for making stupid comments like that, but regardless, the 300 or so complaints that landed when he *first* said it weren't that surprising, since I think it was teachers he was talking about. Over the next few days though, well after the incident itself had run its course, the media decided to make a big issue out of it, and people who hadn't even seen it, just read the story, decided to also complain, I think the number got bumped into the thousands after the media had flogged it.
For ages there was a story bouncing around FB about how a disabled person got booted out of a Sainsbury's cafe. It got shared a crazy number of times. I'm almost 100% sure the story is BS, a huge public-facing and image-conscious company like Sainsbury's would NEVER do anything like that. There was no proof in the story like a link to a news article, so in my mind, the story was probably made up by some cunt who had been caught shoplifting in Sainsbury's, who decided to get his own back by fabricating some story about how Sainsbury's hates disabled people and letting it rip through the share buttons of the wilfully dull and self-righteous personality trait that a large part of the hive mind seems to thrive on...
I don't hate FB itself, it is merely a communications tool, but yeah, even people I actually like in real life post this stuff sometimes.
Following the above, I definitely hate most news outlets. They thrive on bullshit exaggerated headlines (like, literally every year "This winter is gonna be worse than anything you've ever seen!"), and I hate the way that millions seem to buy into it and believe it (related to hive mind). Bigoted papers like The Sun and The Daily Mail shouldn't be allowed to exist!

Specifically, I was reading am article just a few days ago about someone someone aged 24 who made millions "on their own" yet, if you read the article this person had inherited $50, 000 from their grandmother, was also getting $125 a month from their wealthy parents( who they were still living with) all whilst getting a healthy income from work. Even after reading all that the article had the audacity to include this persons "10 helpful tips"...
As you can gather I also hate clickbait articles.
