Unless trolling is done in the most niche forum of humor I just think it's like the dumbest thing ever. I think it's a crazy waste of time for the troll and those getting trolled and it just says a lot about the person one is if they choose to spend their day hurting or bringing down others. Sometimes it's just a by-part of someone being funny in a game or playful with buddies, but most often that's not the case. It's just weak and to bully from behind the key board shows how little strength and courage the bully really has. It's something internal - like a God complex - to need to feel satisfaction from messing with others (especially innocent users).

I honestly think this trend is one of the funniest moves for corporate publicity. It allowed that bridge of professional disconnect to be broken and in turn allowed these huge, unfathomable companies seem more real and personable. Although, behind the keys is one or maybe a group of employees - that connection is still made and in turn makes the company more inviting and welcoming.

I feel that the line between one's public persona and just plain 'inauthenticity' is so closely scrutinized and often blurred by onlookers in this media-frenzied society. While it makes sense to modify one's behavior to adapt to varying situations like talking to one's peers versus talking to one's teachers. It also makes sense to me that one may modify themselves again for the internet audience, to be more agreeable or respectful - and although that may not be their true original self, (in a devil's advocate type of way) it almost makes sense to do so. As many influencers know, with one's platform comes a responsibility to not spread ignorance or hate (on most occasions -- sometimes people form their platforms on the basis of hate or bullying) as a general rule of thumb so if your 'true self' would think do otherwise then maybe changing/modifying one's self makes the most sense.

I think this is just one of those times where when anyone given too much power or freedom it gets to one's head. It's sad that exciting and hopeful ideas such as 8Chan (now 8Kun) are ruined by ill intentioned individuals. Although no one enjoys having them -- sometimes rules and regulations are crucial in keeping good things good and not allowing any bad things to have a space to breed. People who have the goal and aim to spread ideas of hate and ignorance will find a way that's why media sites have really got to lock down (ex: Instagram being more restrictive on chats and content).

I never knew this technique had a coined term, but I really will say that it's truly so fitting. Although I acknowledge the addiction in social media, the infinite scroll has very much decreased friction in loads of pages. I remember when Google would make you switch to the next page of results (via numbers), but after just trying it, I found that as long as you just scroll it's linear (although you have to press a button for more results to load). Just about every media site I've been on has taken up the practice of entrapment via the infinite scroll because it's truly genius - platforms whole goal is to keep you engaged and for as long as possible so this seamless continuous inflow of media is the perfect way to do so.

I've never, before today heard of 'design justice'. As a concept though it's definitely taken media by storm as accessibility and inclusivity stands to be more and more prevalent in our today usage. People are more likely to speak up for themselves and be assertive when it comes to how they want to be identified and represented (rightfully so). It's also fair to mention that cancel culture has added a lot of pressure for makers and designers to get things right in fear of getting told off by like the entire internet.

This is a growing concern in our today media especially with 'family vloggers'. Parents who are essentially raising their kids on the internet. Although some may take it as reality tv or just more raw content - brave even of parents to let the entire world watch them raise their children, but in reality kids are exposed to the media at an age where consent isn't able to be obtained and forced into a life on the internet. Many now are being exposed for cash farming their own children for views and those kids have to wait years until they can decide for themselves if they even wanted to be involved with the internet in the first place.
