Worst thing I've seen about social media is how buzzfeed / upworthy / nowthis / etc - style infographic videos are the only way a lot of millenial / gen Z are getting their news, just forcefed to them by these media companies. Much of it is just a super-condensed version of the story narrative. The video you @
